The bell is bigger than your average household bell as you can see how much room it takes up in the hand in the photo provided. It weighs 2 pounds and is 4 inches in diameter 5 inches tall. It is designed to hang and be activated by either a rope or mechanism.

There is something engraved on it, I can tell that it says "India" and then below that is the number "20" and beyond that I can't make out more than that.

It is a very charming bell with a very solid sound that is louder than you'd think it ought to be. Maybe it's just me, I don't deal with a lot of bells.
