Description: | A Post Medieval ?copper alloy/pewter crotal bell (AD1500-1800). The bell has a sub-rectangular suspension loop, the two upper corners have been angled so that it rises to a point (length: 5.98mm; width: 10.56mm; thickness: 3.75mm). The spherical bell is divided horizontally in two equal halves by a raised circumferential moulded rib. On the upper half are two diametrically opposed circular perforations (diameter: 5.97mm). The lower half has two sound holes joined by an integral sound slit. Both the upper and the lower halves are decorated with incised pointed oval shapes radiating from a central point. The decoration is very worn. Adjacent to the sound slit, on one side, is a moulded circular projection. The iron pea is present and freely moving inside the bell. Dark grey patina.
Dimensions: length of total bell: 31.14mm; diameter: 26.28mm; weight: 23.36g. | 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: | 1500
