Chinese Iron Courtyard Bell, c. 1850

About the Item

This rustic, 19th century iron bell once pealed in celebration or gave notice of important events in a town in northern China. The bell's wide mouth and ridged bead lines give this bell unique character, complemented by its fantastic textured surface. The perfect addition to a garden, this bell looks especially lovely nestled beside others as a sculptural installation.
