Description: | A copper-alloy bell. This bell has an incomplete suspension loop, at the end of a shaft which is circular in cross-section and 17mm in length. This shaft then flares into the bell itself which is flat at the top and square in plan and curves down into a semi-circular shape, with four sound holes, which begin in each corner and meet in the centre of the underside of the bell. There is an identical bell in Bailey (1995 p 36, No, 4) which is described as a 'button bell' worn on hats and shoes in the Tudor period and dating to the 15th and 16th centuries. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
