Upright bell (nao)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Green and brown bronze bell with a wide, flared mouth and a short, cylindrical stem. The bell is decorated with a raised design on the front featuring a face. The design on the bell's body includes curved lines on either side of the face and a square symbol above it. The bell's surface exhibits a green patina with brown areas, indicating age and wear. The background of the image transitions from dark grey at the top to light grey at the bottom. The bell is centered in the image with a shadow cast to the right. The overall shape of the bell resembles a "Upright bell (nao)". The bell is by an unspecified artist.
