Bell
5"x7"
oil on masonite

I saw this bell in an antique store two weeks ago. I have always liked bells but never have seen any practical purpose for them these days. Maybe the reason I like them is because they seem to have a more magical side to them, being a hybrid of musical instrument and alarm system. There is something poetic about bells don't you think?
