The S-shaped loop at the top of this bronze bell and the magic bead placed on the foot of the dragon reflect the typical style of Buddhist bells produced in the late Goryeo period. Cloud-shaped flower patterns draw the viewer’s attention and the name Jingwansa Temple is inscribed on the body. Unlike other bells, the forms of Bodhisattvas are engraved beside the part where the rod strikes when the bell is tolled.
