Description: | Early Medieval Anglo Scandinavian sheet copper alloy conical clapper bell, 10th-11th century, known as a Norse bell. The integral sub-circular loop is broken at the top, presumably due to wear - it projects on one side (opposite the join). Edge to edge join, now partially open and distorted towards the rim. Undecorated, and with no projections from, or shaping of, the rim. The clapper is missing, and there is no trace of it within the bell, apart from a possible scar at the apex. The orginal surface is mid to dark green. There appear to be traces of gilding on the outside of the bell. Some patchy light green corrosion; much of the original surface is missing revealing reddish-brown metal. Length 39.12mm, diameter 15-17mm, thickness of sheet c.1.1mm, weight 8.95g. | 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: | 900
