A Vulcan gong

The Vulcan gong is an ancient Vulcan musical instrument.

It is hexagonal in shape and made of an unknown metal. It is struck with a hammer that is partially made from a green stone.

During a Vulcan wedding ceremony, it is customary for the groom to call the wedding party by striking the Vulcan gong. (TOS: "Amok Time")

A similar gong was rung during Spock's Fal-tor-pan ceremony in 2285. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
