Offered is a large Bronze bell hung from the teak bracket. The bell is flared at the bottom, and has Chinese motif etched dragons, clouds, and Yin-Yang symbols on the surface.

While this piece may perhaps have been used as a Temple bell, there is no identification or writing. The nautical braided knotted rope bell-pull and Teak bracket indicate this may have been used on a ship or boat.

If you choose to install this on the exterior of your home, we suggest professional installation - it really is very heavy. Has the original clapper and hanging hardware.

The teak logs measure 2.5" x 2.5" and the vertical one is 24" long and the horizontal one is 12".

The bell measures 9.5" diameter and hangs 9" from the bracket, so could be a bit taller. The bell pull is 9" long. The total weight is approximately 60 lbs. See less
