Description: | A complete cast copper alloy crotal bell. The bell is decorated with moulded 'scales' covering the lower hemisphere. On the upper hemisphere, moulded lines radiate from the base of the loop towards the median ridge. There are two sound holes on the upper half placed perpendicular to the sound slot on the lower half. The loop is rectangular with a circular perforation. The surface has a dark grey patina and is worn. The iron pea remains in situ. Crotal bells date to the 17th-18th century.
