About the Item
This very unique and interesting engraved shell casing is unsigned with respect to its maker, but presumed to have been made in possibly Kuwait or Turkey in circa 1917 in a Folk Art style. The shell casing is from an enormous solid brass artillery shell that has been cut and fashioned into a well tuned bell or gong. The shell has been engraved with various panels or vignettes such as doves, palm trees, a landscape and a central crest identifying the years it commemorates. The dinner, meeting or prayer bell is housed in a well constructed six sided wooden housing with a pagoda style top.
