The image shows a black and white photograph of a Hand Bell. The bell has a wide base that tapers slightly towards the top. The base has a small lip around the bottom edge. A short, thick stem connects the base to a narrower section with decorative ridges. Above this section is a short, wide piece with a decorative edge. On top of this piece is a dragon figure with its body curved around the stem and its head facing left. The dragon has a long snout, small eyes, and two horns on its head. Its mouth is open, and its tongue is visible. The dragon's body has scales and two claws. Above the dragon is a small finial. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
