Description: | An incomplete and damaged cast copper alloy crotal bell. The bell is divided into two hemispheres by a prominent ridge which runs around the centre of the bell. The upper hemisphere is undecorated with two small sound holes and the characteristic sun burst design. A loop extends up from the top of the upper hemisphere. The loop is pierced.
The lower hemisphere houses the large sound slot ?? now damaged and distorted out of shape. The remains of the iron pea survive inside the bell. The lower hemisphere is decorated with what appears to be the fish-scale type design, but it is badly worn and corroded. The metal survives in a poor condition. It is a mid greyish-green colour. Crotal bells date to the 17th - 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 |
