In the Chinese culture, dragons traditionally symbolise potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, typhoons and floods. The dragon is also a symbol of power, strength and good luck for those who are worthy of it.
This bell hangs below a canopy which is structured to look like multiple Chinese coins. The coins theme is reflected in the 5 metal components which surround the bell, each of which has a silky red tassel attached to the bottom. A three-dimensional dragon sits on top of the canopy.
The silky thread from which the bell
hangs features a red mystic knot or symbol of infinity which is said to
further multiply its good chi.
Best placed indoors - the bronze components of this item are weather-proof;
the red line may be less durable.
