| The chime bells (replica) of late Spring and Autumn period (770-476 BC). The original artefacts were excavated at Wanjiaba, Chuxiong city, Yunnan province.
The six bells in a set are of the same form but in different sizes. They feature a different shape from bells found in the Central Plains. Smaller at the top and bigger at the bottom, they feature an oval shaped cross-section. On the top is a pair of horn shaped knobs, while a rectangular aperture can be seen on the side towards the bottom. The bells are plain on the surface, with mould lines on both sides.
