- African bronze bell with clapper.
- Beautiful hanging bell, made of bronze, except the clapper and its hook, which are made of iron.
- 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, the upper part of the bell, has a rim. Then, the third and middle parts are separated by a ring, and at the foot, there are several overlapping rings. The middle foot, where the clapper strikes, does not have much wear and tear, so it has not been used too much.
- The ring/clapper has a nice and elegant design.
- The clapper is original and in good condition, although with rust.
- After careful analysis of the bell, we have come to the conclusion that it is cast in one piece. It was probably cast with a mould, where the mould joint can be seen on one side.
- It is quite rare to find a bell of this size and so complete.
- No distinctive mark or contrast has been found that could provide information about the place where it was made, the maker's details, or any other information.
