Church bells saved from becoming enemy shells, Russia, 1915
Placed together for safety in the Nikolsky Monastery near Moscow, some of the 300 Russian church bells removed to prevent invading Germans re-using them as metal for shells. Some of the bells are ornamental in design and decoration, showing medallions of priests and bishops in bas relief. Date: 1915
