Description: | A copper alloy bell which is probably medieval in date. The bell has a solid stem which is square in section and tapers away from the bell. There is a damaged flattened area at the far end and it may have originally had a loop. The bell is formed from four plates of metal that seem to be integral with the stem and which are then bent inwards to form a flattened spherical shape round the pea. It is 31.1mm long, 14.3mm wide and 12.6mm thick. Traces of gilt survive on one face of the bell. A thirteenth to fifteenth century date is likely. Similar objects are discussed in ??Dress Accessories?? by Egan and Pritchard (1991). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
