Bell on a Child's Arm
Accessories Myths
Myth: Peasants often wear bells to jingle while they walk.
Only one image was found showing bells as a trim, on a child's arm. Only
other note about bells is that they were worn in some fashion by dancers,
usually doing some form of morris dancing.
Detail from The Peasant's Dance, by Pieter Bruegel,
c.1568.
