This delicate Wind Bell measures 7.5 cm at its base. From the clapper hang three streamers (44cm) consisting of small brass plates and discs that terminate with small bells in the shape of a flower calyx. The Furin are suspended from the eaves of temples and other buildings. The feng-ling (China) and pang-kiang (Korea) are variants. See Stearns #0121.
