This bell features an image of a house containing a heart. The motif is hand made from brass, finished in a beautiful verdigris patina. A gift that makes an ideal way to welcome someone to your neighborhood. The attached story card on this bell reads: The term housewarming comes from the old custom of hanging up a pot-hook. It was our ancestors' gesture which preceded their igniting a central fire for the light and for warmth, thereby creating the heart of the home. Hanging up this Housewarming Bell is intended to do the same, to transform a house into a home, by establishing harmony between occupant and dwelling through repetitive, peaceful, sacred sound. With each and every ring a positive connection is amplified. As your sense of place is echoed in the bronze of the bell, the heart of your home will grow stronger. May a song of gratitude be carried on the wind. All Harmony Hollow bells come with a 350 year guarantee. 17"
