Two Asian Decorative Objects

Description

Group comprising a cast metal bell mounted within an arched stand and a small decorative hourglass in a faux bamboo-style frame. The bell, with verdigris surface and relief ornament, is suspended within a foliate-form frame on a circular base; appears decorative rather than functional, with no visible striker. The hourglass features a dark-toned frame with applied chain decoration and a glass vessel containing pink sand.

Dimensions: H 12 x W 12 x D 12 inches

NOTE: Both items with general surface wear consistent with use and age. Bell with oxidation and patina throughout; no tested function. Hourglass intact; sand present, glass appears sound; frame with minor scuffs and finish wear.
