This lovely brass gong produces a clear ring when struck with the small wooden hammer. A small drilled hole on the base of the wooden stand makes a holder for the hammer.
People in China believe that ringing the gong invites protection. An antique brass Chinese coin with a square hole in the middle & Chinese characters on one side is embedded on the base & represents abundance of wealth all year round. Traditionally, bells are sacred. The ancient civilizations of India, Sumer, China and Egypt all had bells.
