Enormous Swiss cowbell
This Swiss cowbell would have been tied to a cow’s neck.
It’s a centuries-old tradition for mountain cows to wear bells. Without modern facilities it would have been a tough job to find all the cows again. By wearing a bell they became recognisable for the shepherd / shepherdess.
The bell has a clapper, as in a clock. The older the cow, the larger the bell and the lower the sound.
These cowbells are also used in traditional music in a tuned series as a melody instrument.
This is a large cowbell and would have been from an older cow.
Very nice handcrafts, richly decorated with copper elements.
Dimensions approximately:
total height 53 cm
width 20 cm
More than 2 kilos.
Packaged with great care and shipped by recorded delivery (with signature).
