These bells are made by Janmamad Luhar in the Kutchchi desert region of western India.
Janmamad employs an ancient technique of bell-making, passed on to him through generations.
The bells are formed from sheets of recycled steel. They are beaten into shape by hand, then dipped in copper. Women make a dough that they pat around the bells; the bells are then buried under the hot desert sand in a kiln. The heat anneals the metals, welding them into bronze, giving each piece its unique patina.
After firing, each bell is individually hand-tuned. This is what truly makes each of these pieces unique!
Approximate heights of the bells - Size 8 = 5.25"
