Description: | Cast copper alloy crotal bell with no decoration. There is a central raised rib which divides the upper and lower halves of the bell. On the upper half of the bell, there are four circular sound holes, each about 5 mm in diameter, two on either side of the attachment platform for the suspension loop, which is missing. On the lower half of the bell, there is a slit which runs perpendicular to the central rib, along the circumference of the bell, almost until it meets the rib on both sides. The metal ball clapper remains within the bell. Bailey (1992) has a similar but much larger example on p.43, with four sound holes, which is dated to the 18th century.
