Description: | A sheet copper alloy rumbler bell of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is sub-spherical in profile and when viewed from aboe appears square in plan. It is formed from a copper alloy sheet that has been cut into four pointed lobes and folded inwards to encase the still present pea. The bell has an integrally cast suspension loop that consists of a rectangular arm with slight notch on the front face and which terminates in an incomplete loop with circular perforation. The exterior surfaces of the bell have traces of gilding. It measures 16.31mm in height, 11.06mm in diameter, and weighs 1.71g.Similar bells recorded on the PAS database (for example LVPL-55FD77, NCL-B71A51 or BH-ADFF45) suggest a Medieval to early Post-Medieval date of between the 12th and 16th centuries for the current example.
