This Tibetan bell is made by artisans in Nepal.
It is in brass.
 
The bell and the vajra are the most important ritual objects in Tibetan Buddhism. They represent "method" (vajra) and "wisdom" (bell). Combined together, they symbolize enlightenment, as they embody the union of all dualities: bliss and emptiness, compassion and wisdom, appearance and reality, conventional truth and ultimate truth, masculine and feminine.
 
The bell is also a musical instrument. Its sound, along with other sacred instruments such as the hand drum (damaru), are played in rituals as musical offerings to Buddhas and other gods. The sound of the bell is considered by Tibetan Buddhists to be the most beautiful music. This music is presented as one of the eight offerings to the deity that is invoked during the ritual.
