Complete bell with suspension loop, with the small hole quite off centre. With sunburst design on top, fish scales decoration below and a Guildhall horse-shoe founder's mark. The iron 'pea' has expanded to fill the inside of the bell with corrosion so it does not ring any more. Dark green/grey patina with some surface corrosion.
