Description: | An incomplete bell of medieval (probable late 13th to early 15th century AD) date. The top half of the bell and the loop survive. The body is semi-spherical and has been made from sheet metal. It is corroded around the edges and its surface has a black corrosion product which suggests that it was silvered or tinned. The suspension loop has been pushed through a hole in the top and is made of a folded piece of flattened copper-alloy wire. The ends of the loop have been splayed outwards in order to prevent it from falling out. The object measures 12.9mm wide by 7.9mm high and weighs 0.73g. | 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: | 1275
