These bells were picked up in Katmandu, NEPAL during my honeymoon.
Bells can be made of anything from clay to wood to metal. Some bells are also decorative as well as percussive instrument. While it is difficult to pinpoint exactly when the first bell came into being, we do know that they are some of the oldest man-made musical instruments. There are depictions of bells in stone tablets dating all the way back to the 4th century BC. In China, actual bells (which are considered to have spiritual powers) have been discovered dating back to the 5th century BC.
