Traditional Mayland cup chimes, featuring a collection of 29 brass cup bells, each harmoniously secured with leather spacers on a vertical wooden frame. This musical artifact not only serves as a functional percussion instrument but also doubles as an artistic decorative piece. It is equipped with a pair of nylon strikers, perfect for producing a series of melodious chimes that resonate with clarity and depth.

The bell tree is in good overall condition, with some signs of wear on the finish that highlight its vintage nature. The leather spacers have aged, showing some brittleness, which adds to the authentic vintage feel of the piece.
