Tiger bells in South East Asia

Singapore

Dimensions: wide 3 cm., high 2,8 cm., side 2,2 cm., hoop 1 cm. rounded

New tiger bells, more or less of the A type, for sale in novelty shops. One of these bells was suspended from a simple oil lamp which was hanging outside a shop. I bought two of these tiger bells, that were to be used as key rings. According to the shop owner, the bells are produced in one or two workshops near Peking.

Collected in 1990
