11 1/2 SPANISH COLONIAL BELL, Vtg Large Old Antique Bronze Metal Mission Style

Extra large vintage handcrafted bronze bell with an ornate design in relief. Features religious imagery and a commemorative 1811 date. Super large size was the largest the foundry made and exceptionally rare. Includes about 3 feet of old chain attached to clapper for ringing, plus another 3 feet for hanging. Color was difficult to photograph, but similar to the bright shiny copper of a new penny.

To view my other antique and vintage Spanish Colonial style bells and decor offerings. They were cast in 1950s' Mexico for the tourist market with commemorative. Dates, the same way U. Bell souvenirs are emblazoned with'1776' (dates on bells are rarely a production date).

They were produced a few inches tall, up to 12... The smaller ones being fairly common, while the larger ones are quite rare. The design was created by making impressions into the sand mold by found objects before casting. Patina was applied at the time of manufacture.

Please let me know if you have any questions or are in need of certain specifications.
