    Very cool bronze bell-shaped plaque (looks like it maybe came off some kind of post). Marked “Mission Chimes” with an image of a mission behind it. Any ideas on where this might’ve come from? Age or purpose? We appreciate any input, thank you!!

    Measures approx 7” H x 6” W x 3” D

    Wind chimes missing the chimes.... probably from one of the Spanish missions in California.

    It looks like Mission San Luis Rey de Francia.
