Description: | A cast spherical or 'rumbler' bell, made of copper-alloy. Less than half of the bell now remains. These bells were worn by both sheep and horses from the late 17th to 19th century. The bell has a square suspension loop and is divided into two hemispheres. The top hemisphere has one, of a probable original two, sound holes cut into it. Most of the lower hemisphere of the bell no longer survives. Parallels for this type of bell can be seen in Bailey, 1999, pp40, fig. 18 and 20 and Bailey, 2000, pp67, fig. 9). | 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: | 1600
