Small Bell

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two small, greenish-brown metal objects. The objects are spherical and made of a weathered metal with a green patina. They have a small loop at the top of each object, presumably for hanging. The object on the right has a crack or slit on its side. The objects sit on a beige surface with a textured appearance. The artist and title are "Small Bell".
