The bell is sub-spherical with an integral cast sub-rectangular suspension loop attached to the top; about 40% remains, the rest has been lost from old breaks. The body of the bell has a maximum diameter of 36.7mm; the rectangular suspension loop measures 10.0mm high, 12.5mm wide and 4.7 mm thick. The fragment weighs 25.57 grams. The upper hemisphere of the bell is undecorated. There is the damaged remains of a cast circular hole to one side of the suspension loop. There is a raised central rib running around bell. The remains of the lower hemisphere is decorated with a sunburst design; the makers mark, if any, is illegible. It is perforated by a central split which is formed from two circular perforations joined by a linear slot, it has broken along this split. Similar crotal or rumbler bells have been dated to the late post medieval period, usually the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
