@hodomania_simpson@indieauthors.social that's a bell hanging on the rolled end of a pole. It stands just outside of a door, possibly one that's in a tree trunk. You have to shake the pole, to ring the doorbell... But there's enough flexibility in the pole that the bell doesn't ring with the wind. And it gives the sweetest little tinkle, making it a pleasure to ring - a sound you wouldn't think would penetrate the wooden door, but it does, every time!
