Description
English: Bronze Bell
  • Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Warring States Period (475 - 221 B.C.)
Decorated with curved and coiled serpent designs, this bell was used during solemn ceremonial occasions. 36 bosses (small metal projections) on its surface may have had different acoustical properties. The central axix or side of the bell would have been struck with a mallet to make different musical sounds, while the bell was suspended from the top of its handle.
