Fast typing - "The Small Bells of Benin"

In a Chicago museum, these small bells of Benin are bringing their charm to a foreign scene, without ringing.

The concave cylindrical draping of some is as prim as the poise of a Quaker maid,

while the rare quadrangular forms of the rest, with their molded latticed designs, suggest the iron fences, displayed in New Orleans, and everywhere, now.

And who can escape the quaint, spellbound, gargoyle-like bronze faces that stare from their settings of thin metal lace?

I wish I could obtain one of these bells or even a facsimile,

but the formula to their deft moldings was lost and hasn’t been quite rediscovered or found.
