Moon chime with four desert bells. Recycled steel is used to form the bells. Each bell is first beaten into shape by hand, dipped in copper, padded with clay, then buried under the hot desert sand in a kiln. This firing anneals the metals into bronze. After firing, the clay is chiseled off. Finally, each bell is personally hand-tuned in every chime!
This age-old technique of metal-work is what gives each piece its unique patina and exceptional tone.
These wind chimes can be hung indoors, under a porch or awning, or outdoors in the garden or under a tree. Bronze, being an alloy of steel and copper, these chimes will patina naturally over time.
Approximately 13" in length.
Hand-made in Gujerat, India.
