Description: | An incomplete and damaged, large cast copper alloy crotal bell. The surviving fragment comprises the lower hemisphere of a spherical bell. The capital letter W has been stamped next to the sound slot, the W is inside a double semi-circle, with a ring and dot to one side, (the other side is missing due to the break). The W represents the markers mark, unfortunately as the other half of the bell is missing the rest of the markers mark has been lost, meaning that the foundry cannot be identified.
The bell is also decorated with the characteristic sun-burst design.
The metal survives in a good condition. It is pitted and is a mid brownish-green colour. This object is likely to date to the 18th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
