Description: | A cast copper alloy spherical bell. The bell is 41.6mm long and has a diameter of 33.1mm. It has a square suspension loop at the top, with an arched hole through it. The bell has a thickened median rib. There are two circular sound holes in the upper half, but one is much smaller than the other and appears to have been mis-cast. There are two sound holes joined by a slit in the lower half. These are slightly damaged and also look to have been badly cast. There is no decoration on the upper half of the bell. The lower half is decorated with radial lines, some looped, with a circle in the centre interrupted by the slit. In the circle is a maker??s mark: a ??W?? or ??M??. The bell has a deep grey patina and may have originally been tinned. The bell is post medieval and probably dates from the sixteenth century. | Subjects: | spherical | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
