We can easily observe that this piece is carved into the shape of a bell. On the top of the piece, there is a dragon extending from the top to the side. On the center of the bell body, there is the cloud pattern. On the bottom, it is the wave pattern. All of these symbols, including dragon, cloud motif, wave pattern, and the bell shape signify auspice in Chinese culture.
