Click the bell to hear it ring
This is a Crotal Bell used from the middle ages to about the 18th Century
They were attached to animals so whoever was tending the herd would know if
the animals became distressed by a predator. Great thing about these, is when
like this one the "Rumbler" is still in tact inside the bell you
can "Hear" history too. They make a lovely soft chiming sound when
rung.
