Actually (boasting here), I am a coffee connoisseur. I gained this distinction as the principle buyer for the multinational corporation I worked for in the 80’s and 90’s.
The coffee contract was worth some million pounds per year to the chosen supplier. During the selection process I even dictated a special blend that would be used in the companies hotels, restaurants, ships and casinos.
The medical care here is very good, however, it is best not to stay in hospital after any operation as one is likely to catch something much worse than what one was hospitalised for (well it was in my case. )
The first photo is not clear enough to see the inscriptions, however, may have been a pot used for sweetmeats or something that needed to be kept air tight.
As for the bell, not sure it has Indian orgins, but, possibly comes from that part of the world... may be Tibet?
Having been born in Kenya, I am aware of how Western powers have manipulated the African continent, however, many African nations are still run along tribal lines and if left to their own devices are more brutal in the treatment of their own kind as for them life is cheap.

Molly...Little surprising your photo is all blurred then. Must have put them in the wrong way around and not noticed.
