Description: | Cast cu-alloy rumbler or crotal bell dating from post-medieval period, i.e. c. 1600-1800. The bell is damaged and because it was not cleaned it is difficult to say whether or not it is still complete, i.e. with its iron pea still intact inside. Usually, though, the pea is missing when the crotal bell is damaged. It is a very simple bell with no visible decoration (sunburst or floral motif) or a maker's mark, although these may be obscured by dirt/dust. The bell has four sound holes: two in the upper half and two in the lower half, the lower two connected by a slit. In the centre, on top of the upper half is a small suspension loop which is rectangular/square in shape. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
