To US citizens, the Liberty Bell is both historic artifact and cultural icon.
You can crochet your own version of the Liberty bell with this vintage charted design. Sandi Marshall posted the free chart for you to use, and she also included instructions for crocheting the design using filet crochet. If you'd prefer to crochet the bell in color, you can do that too.
For an example of how to incorporate the charted design into a project, check out this drawstring bag pattern.
The chart could also be adapted to other needlecrafts as well; it's a versatile design.
If you've never seen the real Liberty Bell, you might be wondering what's up with the crack in the front of it. Compare the charted design against this photo, and you'll understand.
