This paper considers the crotal or 'closed' bell with a pellet often seen in everyday life, for example, hung on the neck of a cat. Since the crotal bell is too much familiar existence, it has been taken little as a study for the musicological research. In this paper we deal with the characteristic form of the crotal bell, the function and its purpose in the cultural context. Then, we pick up the specific examples, the peculiar bell with prongs or multi-slits from the iconographical materials and the large crotal bell, suspended from the beams in the oratory of Japanese shrines. About the shrine bells, the investigation report in Kamakura city is covered by FUJITA. The Saray Albums of Topikapi Palace Museum in Turkey include the pictorical materials, supposedly drawn in Central Asia at 14^<th>-15^<th> century. In the Albums, many bells are depicted for the animal's bells or the signal bells hung by the pillar. Some of these bells have a very special fig form with multi-slits, and are examined to compare with the other similar examples. The crotal bell is distributed over the world, but it is especially favorite use in Japan. It can also be characteristic that we Japanese have the only one letter [鈴], but distinguish the bell's form and genre by the pronunciation, as rei, rin, suzu. The suzu bell of the Japanese shrine is more exceptional one in its large size and contains several pellets (mostly pebbles) in inside. It is sounded somewhat lower as a signal to wish on God.
