Description: | A complete but damaged cast copper alloy crotal bell. The bell is divided into two hemispheres by a prominent ridge which runs around the centre of the bell. The upper hemisphere is undecorated with two large sound holes (one is badly broken). A square loop extends up from the top of the upper hemisphere. The loop is pierced by a circular hole. The lower hemisphere houses the large sound slot. The iron pea still survives. The bell is undecorated and the metal survives in a fair condition. It is a mid brownish-grey colour. Crotal bells date to the 17th-19th century.
