These ten-bird bell totas are made by the barefoot college, an Ngo in rural Rajasthan. Established in 1972, the barefoot college is a non-government organisation that has been providing basic services and solutions to problems in rural communities, with the objective of making them self-sufficient and sustainable. These 'Barefoot solutions' can be broadly categorized into solar energy, water, education, health care, rural handicrafts, people's action, communication, women's empowerment and wasteland development. Each bird has been threaded onto a string and also has small coloured beads separating each bird. There is also a lovely small bell at the bottom. Please note you are buying ONE 'string' of birds. They make an ideal door hanging and are traditional in Indian households when welcoming guests. These bell totas are not toys; they contain small pieces so are unsuitable for children. Due to the handmade nature of these products, colour and designs may slightly vary but loveliness comes as standard.
Good value and very pretty colours. Beverley. Middlesbrough, GB. Wed Mar 27 2019
