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.
