Hand Bell
The image shows a "Hand Bell" by an unknown artist. The object has a large, domed base with two horizontal lines around the middle. A short stem extends from the base and supports a sculpture of two animals facing each other. The animals appear to be lions or dogs with their mouths open. Above the animals is another short stem with a decorative section featuring a series of curved shapes. On top is a trident-like structure with three prongs. The entire object appears to be made of metal and has a dark color with visible wear and tear. The background is a plain gray color that gets darker towards the top.
