This bronze bell is a cultural relic from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in China, made in the 5th century BC. The name of this clock is "Niu Zhong", and it was discovered in Henan Province, China. This clock is housed in the British Museum. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, bronze bells were a very important part. Bells did not have a tongue and needed to be struck with wooden hammers to produce sound. This type of clock has excellent musical qualities, such as clear sound, fast attenuation, clear and concentrated tones. The height of the clock is 38.3 centimeters and the width is 24.4 centimeters. On each surface, there are three rows of decorations in the shape of winding snakes, further divided by trapezoidal panels with faint dragon patterns.
