Bell3326/42

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.

Face Bell3326/44

Small hand bell with a small flat-headed humanoid figure as a handle. The bell gradually widens to the rim, which has a single decorative belt. The body is decorated with two simple human faces, each facing opposite directions. The body clearly shows how the bell was formed with a very apparent seam. The metal clapper is composed of a series of three different metal loops attached to one another - the second appearing to be a more recent addition.
