Description: | A cast copper alloy crotal bell fragment. The fragment consists of the rectangular suspension loop, approximately 60% of the upper hemisphere and part of the lower hemisphere of the bell. A single sound hole remains on the upper hemisphere. The fragment is decorated on the outer surface with an incised petal design either side of the raised moulding which would have run around the circumference of the bell. The fragment has a deep greenish grey patina and is slightly worn. The breaks are well worn. Crotal bells date to the 17th-18th century.
