Hanuman Bell
Bell
| Place of origin |
The handle is a standing figure of Hanuman, his hands in anjali mudra, with his tail rising behind. The figure is quite detailed but has little wear. He stands on a short openwork cylinder which is crudely soldered to the bell, so the two parts may not belong to each other.
