Description: | A cast copper alloy bell. The suspension loop and the clapper are missing. The bell has been cast in one piece. The apex is flat, and the remains of the suspension loop are visible in the centre (breaks worn). The bell is decorated around the outer rim with a single incised line. Inside the bell is a second incised line, placed just above the outer one. There are large patches of iron corrosion product on the inner surface of the bell, indicating that the clapper was probably made of iron.
The object is worn with a mid green patina. It is probably post medieval in date. | 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: | 1550
