Summary

[edit]
Description
English: An improvised cowbell, used for sheep or goats. The bell was found in 1988 in a field near Tuqu' (Tekoa) in the Judean hills, the West Bank. The bell's body is made of aluminum, probably a broken kitchen utensil, while the clapper is a brass cartridge case (SMI 25 NATO, probably 7.62×51mm). The combination of a peaceful, pastoral use and a militant detail gives this item an ironic character, symbolizing the tragic daily reality of the Middle East conflict.
Français : Cloche bricolée, pour les moutons ou les chèvres. Trouvée en 1988 dans un champ près de Tuqu ' (Tekoa) dans les collines de Judée, en Cisjordanie. Le corps de la cloche est en aluminium, probablement un ustensile de cuisine cassé, tandis que le battant est un étui de cartouche en laiton (Fusil OTAN probablement 7,62 × 51 mm). La combinaison d'un usage pacifique et pastoral et d'un détail militaire confère à cet objet un caractère ironique, symbolisant la tragique réalité quotidienne du conflit au Moyen-Orient.
