专家说明

A similar, but slightly smaller (58 cm. high), bell of this unusual type, was lent by the Chinese Government to the International Exhibition of Chinese Art, Royal Academy, London, 1935-36, no. 66. Another very similar bell of slightly smaller size (60 cm. high) is illustrated by C. Delacour, De bronze, d' or et d'argent, Arts somptuaires de la Chine, Paris, 2001, p. 43, where it is dated 7th-6th century BC.
