Huge vintage, solid brass Swiss cow bell, with original leather strap with buckle.This bell is called a 'Kuhe Alpszug Glocken' which means a 'Cow Alps Travel Bell'  This bell is used in a ceremony when the cows walk up to, or down from the alps.   This bell is only used for this ceremony - when the shepherds also dress up in traditional clothing.  It is also possible that it was a coveted prize for the 'Best Cow' in a show.  For this bell to be awarded it must have been a very special bovine - maybe that is why a farmer brought it to Africa.  Size: height including metal fitting at top 19cm x diametre 20.5cm.  Weighs approx. 3 kgs. This a real collectors item!!  Postage in S.Africa R250  Overseas buyers to enquire from seller re shipping charges.  Free delivery in Durban area.
