Description: | A complete but crudely made cast copper alloy crotal bell. The bell is divided into two hemispheres by a prominent ridge which runs around the centre of the bell. The upper hemisphere is undecorated with two large sound holes. A square loop extends up from the top of the upper hemisphere. The loop is pierced by a circular hole. The lower hemisphere houses the large sound slot.
The bell is undecorated and the metal survives in a fair condition. It is smooth and is a mid brownish-grey colour.
Crotal bells date to the 16th - 18th century. | 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
