Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy crotal bell. The upper and lower hemispheres have been decorated with the characteristic incised sun burst design although it is quite worn. There are two large sound holes on the upper half placed perpendicular to the sound slot on the lower half.
There is a capital letter T (the markers mark) next to the sound slot on one side of the in the lower hemisphere. The other side of the slot has broken off, resulting in the lost of the other half of the markers marks. The bell has a prominent median ridge separating the two halves. The loop is rectangular with a circular perforation. The surface has a mid brownish-green patina. 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 |
