Not all bells that jingle are sleigh bells! These cooper alloy bells resembling the face of a monkey and made in the 1960s in the Aztec/Mixtec style received a home makeover this week. Although not ancient or archaeologically derived, these objects still require stabilization in our storage. Custom mounts and boxes were created for each bell, and a tray was made to easily carry the bells as needed.
