Tingshas (also spelled Ting-shas) are small, cymbal-like instruments traditionally used in Tibetan Buddhist practices. When struck together, they produce a clear, high-pitched tone that lingers in the air; a sound believed to cut through negative energy and create sacred space.
Crafted in the Himalayas from a traditional brass and bronze alloy, and delicately adorned with sacred symbols like the Eight Auspicious Signs or mantras.
