Description: | A worn complete cast copper-alloy crotal or 'rumbler' bell dating to the post-medieval period. The upper half appears plain other than areas of corrosion, pointing at a seventeenth century start for the date range. The lower half features 'sun-burst' decoration with eight rays in total. Central and adjacent to the perforation is a shield-shaped emblem framing a letter 'T'. The iron pea is intact and there are two large circular sound holes in the upper half. Rectangular suspension loop with sub-rectangular perforation. The crotal has a green-grey patina with patches of corrosion. | 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: | 1650
