A small spherical brass bell with a hanging loop at the top, it also has two circular holes on each side and a cross shaped slit on the bottom section. It has a metal clapper inside which strikes against the inside of the bell to make a ringing noise when the bell is moved. There appears to be a piece of wool or metal inside the bell.
