Tortoise, The Still Walker – Nerikomi Hanging Bell

A small tortoise sits calmly, taking its time. This hanging bell is a quiet reminder to slow down and enjoy peaceful moments.

It is made using the traditional nerikomi technique, where layers of naturally colored clay are placed together by hand. The patterns run through the whole piece and are not painted on. Because of this, every bell is different and one of a kind.

The tortoise rests above the bell, while the bell makes a soft, gentle sound when touched or moved by air. Hung near a window, doorway, or quiet corner, it brings a sense of calm and warmth to the space.

This piece is perfect for anyone who loves handmade art, nature-inspired designs, or objects made with care and patience.

A small work of art that celebrates time, balance, and the soft beauty of sound.
