    I have an bronze temple bell (I think this is what it is). I received it from my grandfather who got it when he was in Asia during WWII. The bell itself has a dragon that is hand hammered on the side, and the stand is teak wood. There are no markings on it, but would love any information I could get on it.

      JoEllen,

      The dragon isn't hammered on the side. But here you can see how them bells are made. http://www.dynamic-korea.com/culture/view_culture.php?main=&sub=ART&uid=200500019655&keyword=
