Description: | Cast copper alloy rumbler bell dating to the Medieval period. The object is circular in plan and in section. It consists of a sheet of copper alloy, the edges of which have been folded over sealing in the pea. A small stem rises from the top of the bell, the top of which is flattened in a semi-circular shape. This was probably for attachment. The pea remains intact within the bell. It has a light green patina. Possible functions for rumbler bells include use on jesses on hawks, as dress decoration and on collars of hounds. Similar examples can be found on p2947 of 'Craft, Industry and Everyday Life: Finds from Medieval York'. 1400-1600
