Unlike two other bells in the collection, 1978.514.43 and 66.196.6, whose suspension loops appear to have been fabricated using two threads of wax each, the loop of the present example was made with only one thread of wax. The loop in this case was polished on its top, likely in the location of a sprue, a channel that would have facilitated the movement of molten metal into the ceramic mold. This sprue would have solidified as metal and, to remove traces of its presence, a founder would have cut it off and then abraded and polished the area. The casting technique is further confirmed by the local porosity at and dendritic appearance of the base of the finial. There is one band of metal that demarcates the top of the resonator, which is polished and retains scratches.

Particularly fetching is the way the carver of the leopard capitalized on brownish flecks in the stone to give the beast its spots. The grinning recumbent lion shows a fine contrast of matte and polished surfaces. The carver of the walking lion nearly exhausted the stones red layer when forming the tail..

Tumbler. Netherlands glass SecondWatch. Culture: Swiss, Geneva. Dimensions: Overall: 2 × 1 3/8 × 1 9/16 in. (5.1 × 3.5 × 4 cm). Maker: Watchmaker: Isaac Penard (Swiss, 1619-1676); Casemaker: probably the Firm of Moulinié, Bautte & Moynier (Swiss, 1808-21). Date: case ca. 1810-20, movement ca. 1650.The lower jaw is hinged to the base of the skull to make a cover for the dial of the watch. The dial is engraved and filled with niello marking the hours with Roman numerals (I-XII) and the half hours with fleurs-de-lis. The skull watch was a specialty of Geneva, and to a lesser extent of Blois, both prominent centers of Protestant watchmakers during the first decades of the seventeenth century. Isaac Penard was a native Swiss who was apprenticed to the Genevan master Jacques Sermand (1595-1651), a well-known maker of skull watches as well as watches in such shapes as tulip buds, crosses, and stars.
