  • Dear Peter, a stupendous example of this kind of kirdan, everything about it is so fine & as you say: 'tiny', I've never seen bells of such a size, surely made for a woman of gentility, not venturing out into hot desert storms? One could lay one's gaze upon it endlessly & lose oneself in its minute details, congratulations! a great find! kind regards, zhanna    ps: I have yet to acquire this type of kirdan, but it is on my list, I doubt however that I shall find such a fine example! lucky you!!
