Hand-crafted with meticulous care by Soleri himself, the bell is fashioned from ceramic and adorned with intricate incised abstract geometric patterns, evoking mystical shapes reminiscent of extraterrestrial landscapes. The clapper, crafted from ceramic, resonates harmoniously within the bell, while the fin, fashioned from copper, has developed a breathtaking patina, blending the original golden hues with mesmerizing green-blue tones.

Trained under the tutelage of Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West in Arizona and Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin, Soleri established his home and studio, Cosanti, in Arizona cementing his legacy as a pioneer of visionary design and thought.
