Description: | Copper alloy post-medieval cast spherical ('crotal') bell. It has been cast in one piece and is still complete. The attachment loop is square with a circular perforation. The two halves of the bell are separated by a raised median ridge. The upper half has two circular sound holes on opposite sides. The lower half has a sound slot with circular terminals. Cast spherical bells were used as animal bells over a long period of time in the same style, so precise dating is not possible; it probably dates to the 17th to 19th centuries.
