Bronze Bell-Shaped Pendants

98
Found in Old Riga, these rare ornamental pendants with bell-shaped terminals (11-12th cc.) likely served both decorative and symbolic roles. Worn by Baltic inhabitants, they may have functioned as amulets or status markers. Their chime possibly held ritual significance or warded off evil spirits.
