    Description

    I bought this on a trip to Burma in 2002.
    Most families have a prized water buffalo that is essential to the farming that sustains the family. Often the buffalo has a special place inside a Burmese home.
    The Water Oxen bell of offer was worn around the neck of the buffalo. It consists of a wooden frame two woven cords that hold round wooden balls on each side of the bell. The bell has a lovely soft ring
