#192LB - Literacy Bell

$589.00

  • Description

Reading is a skill that lasts a lifetime, and is the most important and valuable ability a child can acquire. Unfortunately, millions of Americans of all ages lack this basic skill, and as a result are excluded from the vast universe of ideas that are readily available in writing. This bell supports causes that promote literacy for all people. Each bell bears a unique design handcrafted by a skilled artisan. Original designs will vary greatly from displayed sample.

Patina Finish:

The highly variable color patterns range from green to turquoise or from orange to red or with all shades mottled on the same piece.

Burnish Finish:

The bell and its bronze components are steel brushed for a lustrous finish and burnished (flame treated) with a torch in order to bring out metallic bronze highlights varying from colors of gold to iridescent shimmers of blues and greens. An acrylic spray coating completes the finish making it resistant to oxidation. The luster brilliance and subtle highlighted patterns are artistically and randomly achieved, and therefore will vary from displayed sample.
