Description: | Cast copper-alloy spherical bell. The bell is decorated with moulded vertical lines extending from the base of the suspension loop to half way down the upper hemisphere. The loop is rectangular with a large, sub-rectangular perforation. There is a damaged sound slot at the base of the lower hemisphere. The two circular sound holes on the upper hemisphere are perpendicular to the sound slot. The bell has a dull mid-green patina with patches of lighter green. The corroded iron ball remains in situ. It has a maximum diameter of 31mm and its height, including suspension loop, is 41mm. This type of bell, often known as a 'crotal' or 'rumbler' bell, was used on animals. It probably dates from the 17th or 18th century. | Subjects: | cast spherical | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
