Description: | An irregularly sub-triangular cast copper-alloy fragment from a later post-medieval bell known as a 'rumbler'. It consitutes around one quarter of the lower hemisphere of the original bell. One side is straight as it is formed of the sound slot; the other sides are jagged. The fragment is naturally curved. The outer surface is decorated with incised pattern of the 'sunburst' type seen here as two and three lines radiating out from a double line semicircle. Within the semicircle is a letter 'C' flanked by annulets below. It is impossible to identify the bell's manufacturer on the basis of a single letter; however, this style of attribution with initials and annulets seems to be characteristic of a long 18th century (see Bailey 1995, 42). The fragment has started to corrode, and appears to have a relatively high lead content from its colour. | 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: | 1680
