The raised knobs and vertical panel design follow the classic style seen in smaller functional temple bells of the era, and the thick bronze casting reflects its practical, everyday use. The bell shows visible ageing, including wear, rust, corrosion, dirt, and scratches, all consistent with long-term use and the natural development of patina on bronze. These elements contribute to its historical character and presence. Please refer to the photos for details. Dimensions: approx.
