Muzium (Museum of) Aceh dan loceng (and the bell of) Cakra Donya

Bangunan di atas dan di bawah ini adalah sebahagian dari kompleks Muzium Aceh di Banda Aceh.
The building above and below are part of the Aceh museum complex in Banda Aceh.




Tetapi saya lebih tertarik pada bangunan kecil di perkarangan muzium ini...
But I was more attracted to this small building at the courtyard of the museum...


Di dalamnya tergantung sebuah loceng besar berusia lebih 600 tahun!
Inside it hangs a huge bell which is more than 600 years old!



Baca sejarahnya di sini. Baru saya tahu bahawa ia pernah digantung di hadapan Masjid Baiturrahim sebelum tahun 1915... bermakna masjid asalnya lebih tua dari tarikh 1343 Hijrah bersamaan 1924 Masihi yang saya lihat tertera pada masjid kini. Lihat artikel Masjid (mosque of) Baiturrahim, Aceh .
Read the history here. Now only do I know that it was once hanged in front of the Baiturrahim mosque before the year 1915... meaning that the originial mosque is older than the date 1343 Hijriah equivalent to 1924 AD which I saw featured at the current mosque. Look at the article Masjid (mosque of) Baiturrahim, Aceh .


Lihat rantai ini...
Look at this chains...





Dengan rantai inilah loceng itu digantung di hadapan Masjid Baiturrahim.
It is with these chains that the bell was hanged up in front of the Baiturrahim mosque.
