Description: | The bell has a slightly concave profile and flares outwards at the base. The bell is circular in section until the domed top where a vertical rectangular sectioned projection extends. The projection has a curved 'n' shaped terminal. Below this terminal the projection has a circular hole which is filled with iron. The dome of the bell, alongside the projection, has a circular hole, presumably to hold the clanger. On the interior this hole is distorted by a similar sized circular cell, which cuts into the base of the rectangular projection. Alongside the circular cell is a small, short irregular protrusion which suggests the rectangular projection is fixed by this rivet, can is soldered in place on the exterior at the base of the projection. Bordering the base on the exterior is a fine linear groove as decoration. The bell has a grey patina. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1066 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Angie Bolton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
