• Lot Description
  A finely cast and patinated bronze hand bell of ecclesiastical design, likely intended for liturgical or ceremonial use. The bell features high-relief figures in procession around the lower body, possibly depicting biblical or saintly scenes. The upper portion is adorned with ornamental bands and crowned with a stylized dome surmounted by a Latin cross finial. The interior retains the original clapper, with visible oxidation consistent with age. It has a rich, greenish patina throughout, indicative of historical use and long-term exposure. The craftsmanship and iconography suggest European Christian influence, possibly used within a church or monastic setting.

  Condition

  Very good antique condition with aged patina and oxidation. Minor surface wear and light corrosion consistent with age.
