Description: | An incomplete and worn cast copper alloy crotal bell of later Medieval to Post-Medieval date. The upper half of the bell has an integral rectangular suspension loop with sub-circular perforation, and two circular opposing sound holes. There are faint traces of incised lines radiating from the suspension loop, perhaps once depicting rays, sunbursts or similar decorative motifs. There is a prominent circumferential casting ridge around the centre of the bell that divides the two halves. The lower half is incomplete, with one side largely missing due to an old break. The complete side of the lower half is undecorated and has one side of a transverse rectangular sound slot that terminates in circular sound holes. The bell measures 32.67mm in diameter, 41.14mm in height, and weighs 24.79g. This example is of probable 15th-17th century date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
