Description: | A cast copper alloy sub-spherical bell with integral cast in suspension loop. The bell has a one-piece body, the lower edges having triangular projections which have been folded inwards at the base to seal in the pea (Ref: 'Craft, Industry and Every Day Life: Finds From Medieval York', Ottaway & Rogers, 2002; p.2947). The pea is still present. The bell has traces of gilding along the top and sides of the main body of the bell.Dimensions: diameter of bell 13mm; length (inc. loop) 22.3mm; weight 4g.Similiar bells found during both London & York based archaeological excavations have come from contexts dated to both the 1100s and 1200s. It is thought that this type of bell was a rather short-lived type.
