Description
Abstract
Las campanas son los objetos sonoros más potentes de la Europa cristiana. Para
reforzar su carácter simbólico –la voz de Dios entre los fieles– se decoraron desde tiempos
antiguos con distintos motivos iconográficos y leyendas protectoras. Más escasas fueron las
decoraciones geométricas o heráldicas, aunque ha resultado mucho más raro el uso de improntas
numismáticas, objeto del presente artículo en el que se estudiarán cuatro campanas encontradas
en Castilla y León. En tres de ellas se hallan improntas de distintas monedas con las armas
reales con el fin de reforzar la propiedad concejil, mientras en una cuarta –de uso religioso– se
representa un pasaje del nuevo testamento, el pez del lago que llevó en su boca la moneda para
el pago del tributo.
Different elements were used to reinforce the decorative and stylistic character of the bells. More common are the religious ones, and the heraldic ones are much rarer. In this article, four bells from the community of Castilla y León will be studied, whose surfaces have been found decorated with imprints of different coins to reinforce their character and civil property. One of them, owned by the Church, is based on a landscape from the New Testament to represent a fish and a coin.
