Yo, that dudes about to get smoked in the face by a 400 lb+ bell lol.
It looks like the rope has been tied to hold the bell in place.
Oh, yeah, you're right. Missed that detail. I let my head canon amuse me without looking further into it.
Lol, I mean I had to do a double take as it certainly looked like it but would have been an odd painting
This is the place.
