Description: | Fragment of cast copper alloy bell. This fragment represents one small fraction of the top half of the bell. It is now subtriangular in plan with a concave section. The rectangular suspension loop survives intact and it retains a fraction of the moulded band that would have circumnavigated the bell, but is otherwise plain. The fragment has bisected the upper sound holes to either side. The original surface is now missing and the fragment has a patchy light green and orangey brown coloured surface. Break edges are worn suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The fragment is 30.33mm long, of which 9.08mm is the loop. It is 26.7mm wide, 2.38mm thick and weighs 9.24g. This fragment is from a spherical bell often referred to as crotal or rumbler bells, This object dates from 1500-1800AD.
