Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy elongated rumbler bell. It has an integral circular suspension loop at the top with a drilled circular hole near the top. The flat triangular section attached to the loop has been rolled to form a long, narrow conical body, with an unsoldered seam visible down one side. The lower terminal of the bell has been cast into four elongated round ended points. The points have been folded inwards to close the end leaving a sound hole in each corner of the convex base.A similar bell is illustrated by Read (2001) fig 37, no.464, who suggests a fourteenth century date.
