The bell has a rectangular suspension loop (length: 9.77mm; width: 11.63mm) with an irregular oval perforation; irregular due to use wear. The spherical bell is divided into two halves by a moulded circumferential ridge. On the upper half are two diametrically opposed sound holes, one of which has suffered considerable wear. The lower half has two sound holes joined by an integral sound slit. Dark green patina that has been worn away in large areas. The surface does not appear to be decorated but the decoration may have been obscured through the damage. The lower half is also cracked and there is a small irregular hole just below the circumferential ridge that may be a casting flaw. The iron pea is still present and free moving within the bell.Dimension: length: 40.96mm; diameter: 28.88mm; weight: 26.30g
