Description: | Cast copper-alloy spherical bell. The loop at the top is rectangular externally and a small D-shape internally. There are two sound holes in the top half and two in the bottom half, joined by a long slot; the holes are arranged so that there is one in each quarter of the bell. Both halves are decorated with a very worn grooved pattern of radiating petal shapes, there being about four in each of the spaces between the holes. The slot is also outlined with a similar narrow groove. The junction between the two halves is marked by a slightly raised and now very worn seam. The copper alloy is very grey. The iron pea survives to make a low tinkling sound. It probably dates to the 17th to 19th centuries.
