The bell is spherical, one half is a solid semicircular sheet of copper alloy which has four triangular projections on its outside edge that have been folded in at the base to form a sphere.

The artefact has been gilt.
Dark green patina, which is its original surface, with patches of light green and brown.
Similar styles of bells that were found in London came exclusively from 13th century contexts (Egan and Pritchard, 1991, 338) (Ottaway and Rogers, 2002, 2947). However, a pewter example found in York was discovered in an early 12th century context (Ottaway and Rogers, 2002, 2947), which means that although a 13th century date is most likely a 12th century date should not be ruled out. | 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: | 1100
