Description: | A crushed silver rumbler bell of medieval date. Comparable examples in base metal have been found in dated London contexts (see G. Egan and F. Pritchard; 1991; pp. 339, no. 1666). This example is probably 15th century in date. Similar bells were fashionable dress accessories in the 14th and 15th Centuries.
The bell has been made in two sections from silver sheet and soldered together. It measures 16.5mm wide, 6.5mm thick and weighs 2.89g.
