The bronze has an oxidized patina and there is a small crack at the mouth on one side of the bell. The loop through which a rope once passed is noticeably worn. A metal ball rolls around inside the bell and sounds against the bell wall with pleasant, gentle notes. The bell is hung from a custom built stand. Genuine antique bells in this style are rarely seen nowadays.
