Finial of a monk’s staff and a bell
Sound is crucial to Buddhist ritual. It helps to attract the audience’s attention, concentrate the mind and purify the space. This finial once adorned a monk’s staff. The jangling of the rings signaled his presence and encouraged the people around him to give alms. A loose
ball inside the bell, standing on a tripod base, rings when the bell is moved.
