Metal bell with wooden clapper. Most likely made of brass; the mouth/bottom of the bell has an elliptical shape and has a triangular pattern carved into the metal just above it; an additional loop of metal has been welded to the top/crown, a gold fabric cord with tassels (1 orange, 1 tan) on both ends has been tied around this loop, most likely used for hanging and/or ornamentation. A white fabric cord holding the wooden clapper is tied through a small hole in the metal next to the loop on the top/crown of the bell, keeping it in place and allowing it to swing freely. A tan sticker with red text placed on the inside lip of the bell reads "Made in Java D. E. I. No."
