Vintage Persian Brass Camel Bell Strand – 25 Graduated Bells, 60"
This vintage Persian brass camel bell strand features 25 graduated bells, each adorned with raised camel motifs. Measuring approximately 60 inches in length and weighing around 10 pounds, the strand presents a visually striking taper from larger to smaller bells. The topmost bell includes a hanging hook for easy display.
Such bell strands were traditionally used by nomadic cultures in the Middle East and North Africa, serving both practical and ceremonial purposes. The camel imagery and craftsmanship suggest a mid-20th-century origin, possibly from Iran or surrounding regions. Similar strands with 11 to 12 bells and lengths of 25 inches have been valued at around $200; thus, this larger example with 25 bells holds significant decorative and collectible appeal.
Whether displayed indoors or outdoors, this piece offers a blend of cultural history and aesthetic charm.
