I cannot tell type of wood, experts speak of hackberry, service tree or laburnum…
Bell attachment system with internal metal keys, modified by use…
beautiful folk art object, 19th or 20th century, still in use until recently: the rubber-lined pendant is well decomposed.
The bell, all forged, with a heavy iron ingot clapper, is also all perforated, like moth-eaten, but it is its bell and it has a sound as percussive as an old scrap metal.
Height: 27cm overall, the wooden collar: 18cm x 12.5cm.
Condition: Good condition for wood, no flaws,
