Small bell

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Small bell by unidentified artist. The bell is made of dark green metal, likely bronze or copper, with visible signs of aging and wear. It has a rough texture and a darker patina. The bell's shape is conical, tapering from a wide base to a narrower top. A small loop handle protrudes from the top. A red oval sticker with white number 27 is stuck to the top. A large, irregularly shaped hole is visible on the side. The bell sits on a beige surface, casting a shadow to the right.
