DescriptionFlat gong with wood hammer. Gong is bell-shaped, of a heavy silver metal, maybe pewter? It has a 1/4" hole near the top through which a length of string is threaded. The hammer has a natural finish, and widens at the butt end of the handle. The other end has a tangled length of twine circled around it, and adhesive residue at the tip, maybe missing a felt or textile head.
