A fascinating piece of primitive folk art, this large wooden bell was originally hand-carved to hang around the neck of a water buffalo or cow. Crafted from a single block of tropical hardwood, it was hollowed out to create a resonance chamber that produces a deep, wooden "thunk" rather than a metallic ring. This specific sound allowed farmers to track their herds through dense forests or rice paddies without scaring the animals. This bell has transitioned from the farm to the shelf as a striking sculptural object. Place on top of a stack of coffee table books or to fill a gap on a bookshelf.
