Description: | A Medieval?Post Medieval copper alloy spherical bell (crotal) (AD1500-1800). At the peak is a rectangular perforated tab for suspension. The spherical bell has a circumferential ridge that divides the upper and lower half. In the upper half there are two worn circular sound holes, one on each side of the loop. These sound holes are perpendicular to two further sounds holes on the lower half that are joined by a slit. Both the upper and lower halves are decorated with pointed ovals radiating from central points (sun-burst motif). The iron pea is still present inside the bell.
