This unique FRIAR MONK RINGING DINNER BELL is so cute.  I had him as part of my antique/junque store back in 2003 to 2005.  

This thick ceramic piece measures a little over 4 1/4 inches tall x a little over 2 1/4 inches wide.  The thickness of the porcelain is 1/4 inches thick.  There are no issues with this bell.  The ringer is intact and held in the back of the monk with a gold colored elastic cord.  You don't see these out there much anymore.  I think people hang onto them because it is so cute.
