Dragon Table Bell "Stupa" 12 cm

The Dragon Table Bell "Stupa" 12 cm is a table bell made of silumin with an antique bronze finish. The curved stand is shaped like a dragon, the bell hangs from a hook on it, and a small plaque hangs on a chain beside it. The round base is decorated with relief. Size about 7 × 9 × 12 cm, weight about 142 g.

The bell bears a relief of a large carp and the characters 吉祥 (ji xiang) — "auspicious, lucky". In China the carp is a symbol of perseverance and success: according to legend, a carp that leaps the waterfall at the Dragon Gate turns into a dragon.

The dragon — a symbol of strength and protection

In Chinese culture the dragon is the most powerful auspicious symbol: it embodies strength, wisdom, success and protection. In Feng Shui the dragon is linked to the east and the Wood element, and the dragon stand seems to "guard" the bell and strengthen its wish.

What a table bell is for

In Feng Shui the ringing of a bell cleanses a space and "wakes up" energy. With a table bell you can:

mark the start of meditation or practice;
"refresh" the energy at your workplace;
call for attention — for example at a reception or in a shop;
decorate a desk, shelf or altar;
use it as a symbol of luck in the wealth area.

Where to place it

The bell with a carp is placed on a desk or in the northern part of a room, linked to career, as a symbol of perseverance and success. It also suits a study, a shelf of Eastern souvenirs or a meditation space.

What is silumin

Silumin is an alloy of aluminium and silicon that reproduces fine relief well, does not rust and is lighter than bronze. Wipe the bell with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners.

As a gift

The "Stupa" bell with a carp is a good gift for a colleague, student or entrepreneur as a wish for luck, perseverance and success.
