A Bell Pull
This was used in any room that required servants to come and perform a duty.
There is a ring at the top for hanging it on a nail on the wall. At the bottom
is the ornament that would shake to call the servant. The entire bell pull is
made of fine stitches in needlework. The back side is solid black material which
is sewn on.
