Singu Min Bell, Bronze bell at Shwedagon Pagoda, Myanmar.

The Singu Min Bell measures 2.13 meters in height and 2.01 meters in width, with a thickness of 0.305 meters at its mouth.

King Singu of the Konbaung Dynasty donated this 23-ton bell to Shwedagon Pagoda in 1779, marking it with twelve lines of inscriptions about his reign.

The bell displays traditional Burmese metalwork techniques through its construction and bears intricate carvings featuring early Burmese epigraphy.

Visitors can find the Singu Min Bell in a pavilion on the northwest side of Shwedagon Pagoda's middle terrace during regular opening hours.

British forces attempted to remove the bell in 1825, causing it to sink in the Yangon River before local residents successfully retrieved it.
