A delicate cast brass bell no larger than a child’s fist, its thin walls ring with a high, delicate tone scarcely audible above a crowded street. Scribes, healers, and temple attendants hang such bells from cords as talisman-amulets or carry them for gentle summons. The diminutive voice suits intimate chambers and private devotion.
