Description Our hand tied metal Akita Wind Chimes sound superb and look lovely in the garden or equally good indoors. Each chime has 6 silhouettes which graduate in size and bounce gently on elasticated cords. Hand-made in the UK from mild steel and coated in high density polyethylene. Approximately 15cm x 60cm. Did you know; Roman wind chimes, usually made of bronze, were called tintinnabulum and were hung in gardens, courtyards, and porticoes where wind movement caused them to tinkle. Bells were believed to ward off malevolent spirits and were often seen as a symbol of good fortune and a charm against the evil eye. Note: the high density polyethylene can crack in hot sunlight
