The alloy exhibits a naturally developed patina consistent with period bronze, while the internal clapper assembly follows industrial-era construction methods used in domestic and small institutional settings. The design draws on historic ecclesiastical and Continental decorative motifs, adapting earlier stylistic influences for practical household use.
