Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy spherical 'crotal' bell of Post-Medieval date (AD 1600 - AD 1800). Length: 24.8mm; diameter: 36.5mm. Weight: 24.52g.The majority of the lower hemisphere and also the suspension lug are missing due to old breaks. Midway between the position of the suspension lug and the pronounced circumferential rib there are two diametrically opposed sound holes. One of the holes is circular and has a diameter of 4.6mm and the other is irregular in shape due to corrosion.The bell has a dark green patina with copper alloy corrosion products. The outer face also has patches of concreted soil.
