Description: | A damaged and incomplete copper-alloy crotal bell of probable 15th to 17th century AD date. The object has been cast in one piece and is roughly spherical, tapering to a squared-off suspension loop at the top. A horizontal ridge extends around the centre of the bell and there are several indented lines which converge from this ridge towards the slit at the bottom. This slit terminates at each end in a single sub-circular hole. There are two further sub-circular holes located above the central ridge. A large portion of the bottom half of the bell is missing and the object is corroded. It measures 26.5mm wide by 32.6mm high and weighs 19.41g.
