Call bell - Europe - Liturgical bell

The subject of the auction is a beautiful antique altar bell (liturgical) made from solid brass alloy. The bell is characterized by a rich, deep relief depicting the images and Latin names of the Four Evangelists (on the perimeter, a clearly visible inscription, e.g., “S. MATHEUS”).

Below the inscription are exquisitely reproduced figures of saints with their traditional attributes, interwoven with botanical and floral motifs. The bell features a classic, profiled handle to facilitate gripping and an original heart (clapper) inside, which makes a pure, sonorous and very deep sound.

The item is preserved in very good original condition, covered with a natural, noble patina that emphasizes its age and gives it a distinctive character. An ideal piece for a collection of sacred objects, artistic craftsmanship, or as a unique interior decoration in a vintage style.
