AFRICAN BRONZE BELL. WITHOUT CLAPPER.

Description:
- African bronze bell without clapper, medium size.
- Beautiful hanging bell, made of bronze that does not hold the clapper.
- The bell is of African origin, given its structure and style.
- At the time they were used for various purposes. The most common use was to warn of the presence of certain animals, for which it was hung from the animal's collar.
- The shoulder, upper part of the bell, has a small ridge. Afterwards, the third and middle are separated by a single ring, and at the foot, there are two overlapping rings. The middle foot, where the clapper hits, doesn't have much wear so it hasn't been used much.
- After carefully analyzing the bell, we have come to the conclusion that it is cast in one piece. Probably cast with a mold, on the inside you can see the joint of the molds at the ends.
- It is quite rare to find a bell of this size.
