Description: | A copper-alloy small cast spherical or crotal bell of late medieval or post medieval date. This bell measures 37.5mm in height and 30.59mm in width. It has an integral rounded suspension loop with an oval hole due to wear. There is a casting seam around the centre of the bell and the upper half has two sub circular opposing sound holes and the lower half a larger elongated rectangular shaped sound hole with circular terminal ends. There is an iron ball, which still rattles around inside the bell. The surface of the bell has a mottled grey/brown patina.
The bell probably dates to the late medieval or post medieval periods. | Subjects: | Crotal | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
