Description: | An almost complete cast copper alloy bell with a conical body, a soldered joint can be seen on both sides of the cone. Around the base of the bell, there are two incised lines. The remains of the integral suspension loop can be seen at the apex, it is circular and pierced. The metal is pitted and is a dark greyish-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: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
