Description from the seller
Bronze Liturgical Wall Bell with Hammered Cup and Cross Handle (Chi‑Rho Christogram)
Description
Solid bronze liturgical bell, equipped with a top handle formed by a Chi‑Rho Christogram, one of the oldest symbols of Christianity. This monogram unites the Greek letters Chi (Χ) and Rho (Ρ), initials of Christos (ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ), and was historically adopted as the imperial emblem by Constantine I on the military standard known as the labarum.
The piece is a bell for ecclesiastical use, traditionally employed in Catholic liturgy. Its main function is to signal sacred moments of the Mass: the altar boy rings it during the consecration of the bread and wine, as well as at other times of special solemnity.
It features a hammered-textured cup, a finish that enhances resonance and adds an artisanal character. The internal clapper is functional and produces a clear, bright, lively tone. A devotional piece with symbolic, historical, and decorative value, ideal for religious spaces, collectors, or vintage-style decoration.
