Description: | A copper-alloy sheet metal bell of probable medieval date. Similar bells have been found in excavations in London, in layers dating from the late 13th to early 15th centuries AD (Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p. 338-9). The bell consists of two hemispheres which have been joined together at the centre, where there is a ridge. The loop is located at the centre of the top side and has been made from a copper-alloy strip which has probably been pushed through a slit in the bell. On the slightly damaged underside is a dumbell-shaped aperture. The 'pea' remains in-situ.The object is heavily corroded. It measures 15mm wide, 17.5mm high and weighs 1.8g.
