Each Tibetan bell is hammered following a series of procedures that will give the bell the perfect shape. During the manufacturing phase, different metals that make up the bell (copper, tin, iron, lead, gold and silver) are melted in a furnace depending on the type of bell that is desired, such as for bronze bells or those made of seven metals. The molten metal is then poured into a mold to obtain a metal disc of the desired size and thickness. At this point, the metal disc is taken and shaped by hammering it after carefully measuring and selecting it by weight and size. As for the actual hammering process, 4 or 5 metal discs are stacked one on top of the other, which are then heated until they become incandescent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formed incandescent metal disc is then hammered by expert artisans until the metal is no longer hot; then, it is heated again and hammered again. These two operations, heating and hammering, continue until the desired shape and size are obtained (this is why hammered Tibetan bells can differ by a few centimeters from one another). During the bell hammering phase, the metal disc must be struck when it is still incandescent, because it is more flexible. As soon as it cools, however, the metal loses its flexibility and becomes more brittle, thus risking the formation of cracks when struck. After obtaining the desired shape, the actual bell manufacturing phases begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bell is brought to the desired shape and size, and this can happen again by first heating the metal and then shaping it by striking it. Once the required shape and size are obtained, the bell is hammered to be perfected. The individual bells are then chiseled and finished both inside and out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tempo del Sogno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54839717101909,"sku":"CT-NE0266\/12","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1071\/0849\/9797\/files\/campana-tibetana-choe-pa_7361e5f8-a064-407c-9a64-a64c3476d09d.jpg?v=1788457218","url":"https:\/\/tempodelsogno.it\/en\/products\/campana-tibetana-choe-pa","provider":"Tempo del Sogno","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
