Description: | A copper alloy spherical bell with the iron rumbler still inside. The bell is complete, spherical in shape with a horizontal ridge running around the centre. The top half has a central sub-rectangular loop on top, with a circular perforation through it. There is also a hole either side of the loop, of one which is damaged, and a crack is present connecting this to the hole in the lower half. The bottom has a slit running across the underside, ending with a hole at each end. There is decoration on both halves in the form of eight radial leaf shapes extending from the top and bottom. This design is known as the 'sunburst'. It has a dark brown hue and measures 43.95mm tall and 35.93mm in diameter, weighing 41.13g. This spherical bell with upper and lower half sunbursts is likely to date between the 15th and 17th centuries (Bailey, 1999. p.37,38).
