Description: | A complete cast copper alloy crotal bell. The decoration on the upper hemisphere has worn away. The lower hemisphere has been decorated with the characteristic incised sun burst design; although it is very worn. There are two large sound holes on the upper half placed perpendicular to the sound slot on the lower half. One of the sound holes is damaged, the break is worn. The bell has a prominent median ridge separating the two halves. The loop is rectangular with a rectangular perforation. The surface has a dull mid greyish green patina. The iron pea remains in situ. Crotal bells date to the 17th-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: | 1600
