Korean wind chime

Korean wind chimes (Korean: 풍경, romanized: punggyeong, lit.

'wind bell') are various traditional bells hung from the exterior corners of Korean Buddhist temples, and functioning as a wind chime.

The bell's clapper is often in the shape of a fish, an auspicious sign in Buddhism.

[1][2] An elaborate gilt bronze style of Korean wind chime and dragon's head finial became a type of object in later Silla / early Goryeo art.

[3] Hung from the eaves, and rung by the wind, it is a form of awakening practitioners of Buddhism to the external world.
