Bell A.D. 750-950 Greater Coclé Technical note: Optical microscopy and XRF conducted in 2017. This bell was cast by the lost wax process, and all design elementsincluding the four registers of diagonal lines on the outside of the resonatorwere created in the wax model. The bell has a long hollow stem (1.8 cm long) (see image 2)a feature especially distinctive of some Greater Coclé bellsthat leads to the bulbous resonator. The stem was created by wrapping a long wax thread around a thin cylindrical organic element that was later removed or burned out during the casting, and the hollow resonator was formed in wax sheet applied over a ceramic core, which contained the previously cast clapper ball element imbedded within it. After casting, the core was also removed from the interior of the resonator, leaving behind the spherical clapper to move freely within the metal cavity. If we shake the bell, the motion of the clapper striking the walls creates a light, watery sound. Also, after c
