Religious objects - Antique - Bronze - 1850-1900

Beautiful bronze altar bell with three bells. The lot is in very fine condition. Nice sound and gorgeous patina.

The altar bell is used by the altar servers in the Mass to warn the faithful that the most sacred actions of the liturgy are about to take place or are currently taking place. Especially in Masses according to the Tridentine rite, where the priest often prays in silence, it is necessary to ring. Sometimes the altar bell is used instead of the sanctus bell, but in any case after the consecration of Bread and Wine.

The lot is carefully packed and sent by registered mail. Photos complement this description.
