Vintage / Antique Bronze Elephant Bell with Cool Stand. India.

Click the photo above for a larger version and more pictures

 

The bell is really cool and the stand is equally cool.  The bell is large and on both sides there is a 3-elephant head symbol with spire crown.  The clapper is in tact.

The stand is made from bamboo and another hard wood for the base.  The strip that is present from one side to the other is some sort of animal skin/fur.

This is an excellent display piece and I think the bell is quite old and the frame/stand might be from the mid-1900s.

It has an excellent historic feel.
