This antique Ottoman brass bell features a cast flared body with simple incised horizontal lines around its circumference. The bell is mounted to a 15-inch flat wrought iron arm that terminates in a forged, pointed finial intended for installation into a wooden post or masonry. The interior houses a heavy iron clapper suspended from a metal loop. This primitive object is consistent with Ottoman-style utilitarian bells used for livestock or architectural signaling.
Length: 15 inches
