Bell for camels, from the south of Ethiopia (border area with Kenya), made from the tank of an African panther turtle (size 13 cm), with 2 clocks made of wooden sticks and a hand -woven leather strap. Such objects are made by locals and are an inexpensive solution (otherwise camel bells are often made of metal). Peasants are also creative craftsmen in Africa. The Ethnological Museum Berlin has a wooden piece of wood comparable in the form. The researcher Sven Hedin wrote "whoever heard the camel bells, Never let go of it again!
