Antiques - Miscellaneous / Other Objects
Reference: Z6213
Renaissance bronze bell, 1555. Dated. Stem decorated with plant elements, with shoulders decorated with elegant lines, the middle has profiles within plant garlands and two legends above and below in Latin. Bells were already used by Catholics to call the faithful from the 5th century, but their use in civil matters and in other religions is known to have been in Greek and Roman times. The decoration of this bell, made in relief, places it in the Renaissance due to its inspiration in Roman coins for the profiles and plant elements it presents. Likewise, the date of the body places the creation of the piece with certainty, in addition to adding value to it. The inscriptions prove its religious use.
