This rare Bronze Age ritual bell was cast by the lost-wax method possibly by the Dong Son culture of Vietnam (ca. 400 BCE to 100 C.E.). A variety of bronze ritual works including bells with human and animal figures were characteristic of the Bronze Age. The orb-shaped bell is cast with a bull’s head and horns in relief, with a large slit along the bottom and a single small bead/clapper inside. There is a large suspension tube on top along with suspension loops on each side.  Horizontal spiral lines are added for a textured pattern decoration.

The original Vietnam people were the early Dong Son people.  They were known for bringing their sophisticated mining, smelting and casting skill from their Mongolian origins and have left a legacy of magnificent bronze statues and drums. The Champa Kingdom also left its mark in the form of ornately carved sculptures decorating their mysterious brick towers.
