Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy spherical (crotal) bell. Measuring 35mm in total height and 28mm in diameter. This bell has a rectangular shaped suspension loop with an oval hole through it. The upper half of the bell has traces of incised 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 has a transverse sound slot, which terminates in two circular sound holes. 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 |
