Description: | A copper-alloy bell of medieval date. "Teardrop-shaped" sheet metal bell probably dating from the 14th century AD. The object appears to have been cast as one piece and then bent into shape. A vertical joint can clearly be seen, extending down the length of the bell. This opens into a horizontal slot on the underside, where there are also two small sub-circular holes. The upper end of the bell has been flattened and has a sub-circular attachment hole. The surface of the piece has traces of gilding but is otherwise heavily corroded. It measures 39.4mm high by 11.7mm wide at the bottom. It weighs 5.87g.
