Description: | A corroded copper-alloy rumbler bell of probable early post-medieval date. A very similar example was found in an early to mid 16th century context in London (see Egan, 2005, p. 57, no. 246).A horizontal seam around the outside suggests that the bell has been formed by soldering together the two flattened hemispherical halves. The suspension loop, located the the top, consists of a flat strip; it is uncertain as to whether this has been cast integrally or added separately. At the bottom is a dumbell-shaped aperture. The iron 'pea' survives inside.The object measures 21.8mm in diameter, 22.3mm high and weighs 7.5g.
