A pair of cymbals is made up of 2 metal plates, each fitted with a leather strap. Cymbals were found in ancient Persia, Greece and Rome over 3,000 years ago, but they were generally of smaller sizes. Larger cymbals seem to have been found mainly in China. Used originally in Buddhist rituals, the cymbals are now widely used for "lion dance" and opera accompaniment.
