Description: | One half of a copper-alloy sheet metal bell of probable 15th to 16th century AD date (Bailey, 1995, p. 92-3). The piece consists of the upper portion of a two-piece bell. It is circular in plan, and appears to have been hammered into shape. The upper surface is flattened and has a central projecting loop. This loop is made from a copper-alloy strip which has been bent double, pushed through a slit in the top of the bell, and secured on the underside by bending the ends over. The outer surface of the object has a dark green patina and the inner surface has a black coating. It measures 41.2mm in diameter by 20.8mm high and weighs 18.71g. The sheet metal is 1.1mm thick.
