Betazoid chime

The Betazoid chime was a small crystalline octagonal instrument that was struck with a little hammer.

On Betazed, it is customary to strike the chime during a meal to express gratitude for the food that is consumed. Homn struck the chime during a banquet aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) celebrating the upcoming marriage between Deanna Troi and Wyatt Miller in 2364, and again the next year, when Captain Jean-Luc Picard was having a private dinner with Lwaxana Troi.
