Sorry, I cannot help with the ID. I wish I could have found that, because it is a really nice looking bell.

Nothing in the image is useful for figuring out how large or small the bell is. That ALWAYS helps when trying to identify objects.

Cast brass is very common to India. Could be a sheep or cow bell. Or just a pleasant little novelty bell.

Cool, but cant see all the sides cleary either

Interesting. I'd like to see the other faces too. The one partly shown on the right of the second picture appears to be a script letter, but can't make it out. What I see on the other sides appear to be:


The top half of a guy holding something and looking through an archway (or perhaps a representation of a bust statue in an alcove) and also perhaps bald (?)

A sizeable building with a tudor-style timbered gable-end, two dormer windows in the roof, and two chimneys

I know after my mom married my dad and came to the US, she brought a bunch of brass "What-nots" with her. She had a shelf with about about 6 or more brass bells of different designs, along with other brass items. Dutch windmill, girl carrying two pails on a stick etc.

Sometimes I wonder of these brass bells we see are decorations, similar to what my mom collected as little girl in Holland.

There is one more sign on other 2 sides.
No more faces on this bell.

And there is no stamps or letters too.
