Description:
A Chinese Qing dynasty Qianlong period large bronze bell, height 100 cm, diameter 60 cm, This iron bell has a relatively large body, cast in pig iron. The entire surface of the bell is inscribed with te x t. The top of the bell is semi-spherical, and the body is cylindrical, with overall shoulders and a slight outward flare. It was cast in the 23rd year of the Qianlong reign, making it more than 260 years old., The discovery of this bell provides tangible evidence for the study of religious culture, local customs, and the historical development of the casting industry. During the Ming and Qing periods, bell-casting techniques reached their zenith, making such artifacts highly valuable both culturally and economically. Rare finds like this bell contribute significantly to our understanding of history and culture (refer to the Ancient Bell Museum at Beijing's Dazhong Temple for comparison)
