The "Buddhist Manuscript Library and Museum" is on the grounds of the Wat Chedi Luang, the premier Buddhist site in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai. Inside the Library/Museum is an interesting mix of Buddhist artefacts, history, and old manuscripts.
One of the items on display is a bell. This bell is inside from the main entrance, to the right. The bell is ~30cm tall, and hangs from a wooden frame. According to a sign above the bell, it was cast in 1899, and used in the Wat to signal the monks to perform their duties. Entry to the building is free, though, of course, a small donation is the done thing to do. Waymark location is the main entrance.
