Otherwise the bell is in very good condition retaining its suspension loop and copper alloy pea within.These bells date from the 15th - 17th century. This example measures 33.80mm long, 25.54mm diameter and weighs 23.5gms. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
