Definition
- 1Sonnette ronde placée au cou des chiens et aux pieds des oiseaux de proie.
- 2Meuble représentant le grelot de fauconnerie dans les armoiries. Synonyme de grelot, il est pas possible de les différencier surtout s’il n’est pas placé avec un rapace ou si l’on ignore une tradition de fauconnerie dans la région liée aux armoiries. Son usage est plutôt ancien et assez limité. Dans le doute, on parlera plutôt de grelot. À rapprocher de cloche, clochette et grelot.
