Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Anglo-Scandinavian bell. The hexagonal body has a fluted lower edge, though one side of the body is incomplete. The top of the bell has a central perforation with iron rusting on either side. This suggests that the bell may have had an iron suspension loop, which fixed the missing iron clapper. The length of the bell is 25.5mm, the width is 22.6mm and the weight is 10.02g.
Similar examples have been found at York, Cottam and Caithness and have been dated to the 10th century (Mainman, A.J, 2000, p2599). | 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
