Description: | Well-preserved spherical rumbler bell with iron pea. Cast in two halves with a raised ridge around the circumference. The suspension loop is a circular hole through a flat piece of metal protruding from the top of the bell, with a rounded top edge. There are two opposing circular holes in the upper half of the bell in addition to two holes joined with an open slit in the lower half. The upper half is decorated with four incised lines around the circumference and is marked with a stamped number 5. The lower half has two incised lines around the circumference below the central ridge. Below and overlapping this is a floral design of petals formed by loops of double lines radiating from two central concentric circles in the base. This circle contains a makers mark in the form of a letter W (or possibly M) surrounded by four dot-and-circle motifs (two each side of the slit).
