Vintage String of 5 Decorated Brass Wedding Temple Good Luck Bells
BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE (POSSIBLE ANTIQUE) STRING OF BRASS TEMPLE BELLS. 5 BELLS ON 55CM GOLD AND PURPLE CORD. EACH BELL HAS BEEN DECORATED WITH RAISED BRASS FLOWER PATTERNS AND HAND PAINTED IN A CLOISONNE STYLED MANNER. THE CLAPPERS ARE ALL MADE OUT OF DIFFERENT SHAPED PIECES OF SCRAP METAL.
THEIR IS AN OLD SUPERSTITION THAT EVIL SPIRITS WERE AFRAID OF BELLS AND FLED FROM THE SOUND OF THEM. WEDDING DECOR BELLS WERE TRADITIONALLY RUNG AT WEDDINGS TO SCARE AWAY BAD LUCK & EVIL SPIRITS HELPING THE NEWLY WED COUPLE TO HAVE A HAPPY MARRIAGE. Shopkeepers hung bells over their thresholds, not so much to alert them to the entry of customers but to keep evil spirits from entering their premises. Thunder and lightning storms were believed to be the work of witches and Demons, and church bells also would be rung at an approaching storm in an attempt to dispel it. At someones death, the tolling of the church bells helped the departing soul on its way to heaven and prevented evil spirits from interfering with the journey.
However apart from warding off evil spirits these brass tone bells are ideal for a wide range of applications, you can hang them in your home, garden, shop, restaurant, hotel, office, or the temple, or use them for making your own wind chimes, decorations for wedding, Christmas, Halloween and Thanksgiving, gift wrapping, etc.
