Description: | Fragment of cast pewter bell. This fragment represents one small fraction of the underside of the bell. It is now subtriangular in plan with a concave section. It shows a moulded decoration of concentric, overlapping semicircles or 'fish scales'. The bell fragment has an even dark grey patina. Break edges though not fresh, are only slightly worn suggesting damage occurred in the recent past. The fragment is 21.16mm long, 17.98mm wide, 2.5mm thick and weighs 2.99g. This fragment is from a spherical bell often referred to as crotal or rumbler bells, this object probably dates from the 16th or 17th century.
