Description: | Complete copper alloy cast crotal bell. The rumbler is still inside and the attachment loop is present. The loop is square with a semi-circular hole. The bell is divided into two 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. The lower half is decorated with a central circle inside of which are the letters 'WC' with a + below. Around the outside of the circle is the typical sunburst style decoration. The WC probably represents the initials of the bell founder who made the bell. This style of decoration dates to the 17th and 18th centuries.
