Hello Wendy,

I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal,

Considering the photographs, overall pattern, materials and the colours, I concluded that this is a Bronze Antique Chinese Bell. The piece dates back to the period from 1890 to 1930. The piece is inscribed with religious writingd as well as various motifs of the Chinese tradition. As a small architectural element, the piece was likely used in the lower floors to remind the time of prayer or other daily important events of the temple. The piece is in good condition without visible problems, signs of use and age.
