I've been eager to own this little bell since I first saw it. It's a decent size, too! I'm not exactly sure where to put it or what much to do with it, but this little sea lion is a charming little piece that I'm happy to own. The only other thing i noticed is that the bell isn't as solid black as shown in the picture. It appears to be a little more worn. But not in a sense that it's been tossed around and used a lot, but almost vintage-y. He seems quite sturdy, however, and the chime is quite lovely!
