This bell made of bronze used during Buddhist ceremonies. The handle and the body of the bell are cast separately and are attached to each other by soldering. Because of the face on the handle, the five-ponged vajra at the end of the handle this is a bell. Its body is unadorned. There is sign of consecration inside the body.
