Temple Bell

Was going to go another walk this afternoon and try and take some photos but it was so cold and windy that I thought a pot of coffee and a mooch round the house to find something to photograph would be better.
Found this old metal temple bell which I have had for years. I think it would be from a Japanese temple. The end of the tail fell off a few years ago and I have recently had it re attached. I know it is damaged but it still works and clangs beautifully. Cookie clangs it every night when he wants his dinner !!!
