Description: | A large damaged crotal bell, from the late 16th to 17th century. The bell has a diameter of 34.4. It is broken at the bottom and is therefore missing its clapper. A central rib divides the upper and lower parts, laterally. The upper section has a sub-rectangular supspension loop at the top with a sound hole to either side. It is decorated with a sunburst design. The bottom section is worn where it is complete, but a crude founders hammer can be discerned within a circle near the remaining edge of the sound hole. Similar examples are illustrated in Bailey (1992, page 38; figs 4-6).
