most cow bells are made of thin, flat pieces of plated sheet metal. plating causes the sheet metal to have a surface which can be decorated or left plain. the craftsmanship of cow bells varies by geographic location and culture. the ornaments on the cow bell and the collar are usually decorative although some cultures believe that certain ornaments provide or enhance magical protections such as the power to prevent or cure fever and other illnesses. the cow bell is used to keep track of grazing animal herds such as goats, reindeer, sheep and cows. they are mainly used in europe, mediterranean areas and latin america, but are also used worldwide by those who practice transhumance, including nomadic pastoral tribes in africa and asia.
