The sculpture is a bell with intricate relief carvings on its surface. The carvings depict human figures, including one with wings and a halo, engaged in activities with agricultural tools and possibly a shield. At the top of the bell is a bust of a figure with a beard and helmet, surrounded by decorative foliage. The sculpture is a dark, aged bronze color, indicating it is likely made of metal, possibly bronze. The detailed designs on the bell tell a narrative through scenes and characters in a historic and ornamental style.
