Description: | Sheet copper alloy pear-shaped, pendant bell with flat suspension loop. The bell has four pointed terminals which have been folded inward at its base giving four tear-shaped holes. The back has two edges of the sheet folded together and overlapping to complete the body of the bell. The shape of the suspension loop suggests that it would have been hung against a flat surface. Read (2001) illustrates a similar example on page 58, Fig.37, No.464, which is dated to the 14th century. Bailey (DF1) illustrates a similar example on page 36, No.1, which is dated to the 15th to 16th century.
