Description: | Fragment from a cast copper alloy crotal or rumbler bell of probable post-medieval date (1500-1800). The fragment is from the upper hemisphere of the bell and consists of the suspension loop and part of the surrounding bell. The fragment is irregular in plan and profile. The suspension loop is rectangular with a square shaped hole. The fragment measures 20.8mm length, 21.2mm width, is 16.6mm high, and the metal is loop 3.9mm and bell 1.7mm. It weighs 6.74 grams. The fragment is a mid green colour with an even patina but abraded which covers all surfaces. Similar crotal or rumbler bells have been dated to the late post medieval period, usually the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
