Description: | A fragment of a small cast copper alloy bell with what appears to have been a hexagonal-shaped body. The majority of the bell has broken away and is now missing, the rest is slightly flattened and bent out of shape. The remains of the base of what may have been an integral suspension loop can be seen at the apex, but this is now missing. Below this is a small hole through the top of one side of the bell. The metal is pitted and is a mid reddish-brown in colour. It is probably early-medieval in date, 10th - 11th century. A similarly shaped one was found in a late 10th century deposit from York (Mainman and Rogers; 2000; 2599).
Similar to YORYM-7EA6F8 and YORYM-D84BF5 both found at Snape with Thorpe (North Yorkhire). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Booth, Anna | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
