This instrument was collected by Mrs. Joan Galtress in Northern Pakistan, in the 1950s. Her husband, Mr. Robert Galtress was surveyor for a route for an oil pipeline which would run from the North East India (Assam) to Gauhati in the foothills of the Himalayas. It is a set of three brass camel bells with internal clappers of iron alloy, attached to a plaited, blue and white cord strap.
