Bell, small

Modest bronze-iron bell with handle; lighter, sharper than hand bell; livestock tracking.

A modestly proportioned cast bronze or iron bell with a wooden handle, its note lighter and sharper than a hand bell’s. Merchants hang them above shop doors, and animal tenders tie them to livestock to track the beasts in pasture. The bright, quick voice carries detail enough for close signaling, though it lacks the range of larger bells.
