Bell

MOA: University of British Columbia

3326/42

Agogô(?) bells composed of two similarly sized bells attached by a U-shaped piece of metal at the top. Each bell appears to have been formed from a single sheet of metal, folded, and then "pinched" at the top leaving one edge on each bell with a wide flat seam. The reverse reveals the seams and points of attachment from metalworking.
