Description: | A cast copper alloy animal bell. The bell has been cast as one piece. The bell would once have been conical in shape, but now half of the bell in missing. The outer edge of the conical bell which survives, have been formed from one plate of copper alloy, which is multi-facetted. The bell has a square pierced lug extending from the top of the bell proper. The bell appears to have had an open base. A small iron pin, inside the conical bell (beneath the loop) indicates where the pea would once have hung. The pea is now missing. The surface is pitted and there is little sign of corrosion. The metal is a dark brownish-green colour, with a highly polished patina. This bell is probably post-medieval in date.
