The plaque says, "An original carving by Steven Beradi inspired by the search for the lost bells of the mission of Santa Ysabel. The padre and the indians bought two bells 150 years ago for six burro load of barley. The oldest bells in California. Made in 1723 and 1767. In 1926 the bells mysteriously disappeared. The mission has not given up hope that the bells will be returned. The day after the bells disappeared Jose Maria Osuna found the clappers. They were returned in 1959 and are now kept in the Indian Museum."
