Rustic Wooden Cowbell Gong Primitive Tribal Art Percussion Instrument

Bring the raw, authentic sound of folk art into your collection with this fantastic vintage wooden bell or gong! Hand-carved from rugged hardwood, this unique piece functions as a rustic wooden clapper bell or small gong, and features a thick, knotted rope for hanging. The weathered, primitive finish and visible chisel marks speak to its traditional, hand-made origin. While it certainly shares the function of an animal bell, its construction and style are often associated with larger tribal or village instruments used for signaling, music, or calling gatherings. This piece makes a superb, textural wall hanging or an impressive statement piece for any collector of primitive instruments or rustic decor.

Fun Fact: Wooden clapper bells and slit drums were essential communication tools in many traditional cultures, where the wooden tone was used to signal everything from danger and weather changes to celebration!
