Bell Makers Inside a Bell

A giant bronze bell stands in a green valley, hollowed into a stone citadel of eight arched rooms on two floors. Upstairs left, four men at a round table compare small bells. Next, a girl with a magnifying glass and an old man examine carved copper panels. Then a man works at a bench of clapper moulds and tools, and at the far end a woman reads beside a brass horn on a blue stage. Downstairs, two women sort cards at a desk of file drawers beneath name boards and a bell diagram. Beside them craftsmen shape metal parts on a stone workbench. Then an elderly couple sit with a child in a lamp-lit parlour, and two men talk by a pedestal in front of a mountain painting. Each arch frames its own room, so the bell breaks apart naturally.
