Description: | A complete high tin cast copper alloy crotal bell.
The upper and lower hemisphere are undecorated. There are two large sound holes in the upper hemisphere. The lower hemisphere has three slots cut across it, forming a six pointed star. Each end of each slot terminates with a sound hole.
The bell has a prominent median ridge separating the two halves.
The loop is rectangular with a circular perforation. A piece of copper alloy wire survives twisted inside the loop.
The surface is very smooth and has a mid brownish-green patina. The iron pea remains in situ. Crotal bells date to the 18th - 19th 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: | 1700
