Description: | An incomplete cast in one copper-alloy norse clapper bell.
This bell is conical in shape measuring 24.8mm in height and 22.10mm in rim diameter. Part of the rim is missing due to old breaks, now worn. The integral suspension loop is roughly semi-circular in shape with a central circular perforation. Inside the bell there is a mass of corroded iron, this is probably the remains of an iron clapper.
As this clapper bell is conical in shape with an integral suspension loop it is most likely to be a norse bell, which dates it to the late early-medieval period, c900-1066. | 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: | 900
