Bell with Bull with Chain
The Bell with Bull with Chain by Lu Ban is a bronze bell with a green patina. The bell has a wide base that tapers inward and then widens slightly at the top, with decorative lines around the bottom and middle. A short neck supports the decoration on top. The decoration features a bull with a long snout and curved horns facing right. Standing on the bull's back is a figure with one leg on either side, and one arm raised above their head holding a long object. The figure and the bull are surrounded by smaller figures. A chain hangs down from the decoration on top. The background is grey.
