sleighbell
Winter carriage jingle
A sleighbell is a small metal bell, typically spherical with a slit opening, that jingles when shaken.
Sleighbells were originally attached to horse harnesses on sleighs to announce approach in winter conditions.
The sound is now strongly associated with Christmas: sleighbells on the soundtrack.
