Rare Antique 6-Horse Crotal Sleigh Bell 462g Giant 3.5" Pictorial Relief Patina for sale

# Rare Antique "6-Horse" Pictorial Crotal Sleigh Bell — 462 Grams, 3.5" Diameter

Up for sale is an exceptional piece of 19th-century early American folk art—an ultra-rare **"6-Horse" Variant Pictorial Crotal Sleigh Bell**. While the overwhelming majority of historical horse-motif bells feature only a single animal or a single pair, this premium sand-cast specimen features a highly dense, multi-animal composition spanning both hemispheres of the bell structure.

### 🔎 Design Features & Details:

* **The Upper Hemisphere:** Houses four (4) distinct small standing horses nestled seamlessly between the vertical expansion sound windows and gas vents.

* **The Lower Hemisphere:** Features two (2) massive, deep-relief galloping/running horses flanking the main sound throat opening.

* **Construction:** Heavy, dual-piece sand-cast brass with a prominent center equator girdle ridge and an intact, unbroken top suspension loop shank.

### 📐 Physical Specifications:

* **Weight:** 462 Grams (Heavy, solid casting)

* **Diameter:** Approximately 3.5 inches at the widest point of the center girdle ridge.

### 💎 Condition Notes:

* **Patina:** In beautiful, untouched antique condition. This bell retains its original, dark-chocolate and golden-brown brass oxidation. It has deliberately NOT been cleaned or polished with chemicals to preserve its maximum historical collector value.

* **Sound:** The internal metal ringer pea remains trapped perfectly inside and rattles freely, producing a loud, clear, resonant chime when shaken.

* **Structure:** No cracks, breaks, or structural repairs. The top suspension hoop is solid and intact.

Please review all high-resolution photos carefully to evaluate the crispness of the raised horse reliefs and the natural aging of the brass.

**Shipping:** This premium artifact will be packed with professional care, heavily bubble-wrapped, and shipped securely inside a rigid cardboard box to guarantee safe transit.

*Calculated shipping based on your location. Returns accepted within 30 days in original condition.*
