Fitted with a traditional thick black leather strap adorned with colorful fringe yarn detailing and brass-toned decorative metallic appliques (alpine herder, cow, heart). 1x Official Switzerland Coat of Arms Bell: Features the classic Swiss red shield and cross emblem on the front. The broad leather hanging strap is fully embroidered with vibrant, detailed alpine flowers and finished with multi-colored festive fringe trim. 1x Austria National Coat of Arms Bell: Features a larger brass-tone heart-shaped bell complete with the traditional Austrian imperial eagle coat of arms and alpine floral wreath.
