Help with silver bell. Spain??

Post by jaume »

Hi everyone!!

This is a small silver bell (5,5 x 3 cm), usual in Spain in 18th century. In this case it has not preserved its chain. They were put on children to protect them. Although I think it also helped prevent them from getting lost. (like the cats with the bell...)

It maintains baroque-rococo-type decorations and a tau cross, representing Saint Anthony.

I am not able to attribute the few marks preserved. They should be from one of the silversmith colleges in Spain. Not from Barcelona or Girona. This mark with the form of a * reminds me to Huesca.

Any opinion or help will be very welcome.

Thanks and greetings to everyone

Jaume
