Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy sheet metal bell of medieval date. Similar bells have been found in excavations in London, in layers dating from the late 13th to early 15th centuries AD (G. Egan and F. Pritchard; 1991; pp. 338-9).
Only the squashed upper half of the bell remains; it is made from a piece of sheet metal which has been hammered into a hollow, roughly hemispherical form. At the mid point of the upper surface, a squashed loop, made from a copper-alloy strip, has been soldered on. Around the base of the body is an upturned rim.
In its current condition the object measures 33.5mm long, 16.5mm wide and 13.4mm high. The weight is 4.1g. | Subjects: | Sheet metal | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
