Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy spherical or crotal bell. Measuring 53mm in height and 43mm in diameter. This bell has a rectangular shaped suspension loop with an oval hole through it. The upper half of the bell has 11 oval shaped petals, radiating from the base of the suspension loop. There are also two parallel circular sound holes in the upper half of the bell. There is a circumferencial ridge around the centre of the bell. The lower half of the bell is again decorated with 'petals' four are represented either side of a transverse sound slot, which terminates in two circular sound holes. There is what seems to be a raised 'T' shape next to the sound slot. There is still a small ball of iron inside this bell. This bell is most likely to be post-medieval in date, late 15th to 17th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
