A TIBETAN BRONZE VAJRA WITH BELL
The ritual bell or ghanta, is described in teachings as 'proclaiming the sound of emptiness' and represents the female aspect of wisdom and truth in voidness of form and emptiness. The ghanta together with the vajra, were important Buddhist ritual implements which were held in the right and left hands respectively to make elaborate ritual movements and they are also attributes of Buddhist deities.
