Description: | Two cast copper alloy hexagonal pyramidal bells dating to the Medieval period. The base of the broken attachment loop remains at the top of the object. The base of the bell has broken resulting in an irregular shape. Inside the bell is a large amount of iron corrosion probably due to the corrosion of the pea. The object has a dark green patina. The second bell is a fragment of a cast copper alloy hexagonal pyramidal bell. One side of the bell has broken away and the remaining sides have been squashed inwards. The top of the bell has a rectangular projection which is broken and would probably have been used for attachment. It has a reddish green patina and can be dated to the Medieval period. It is 26.94mm long, 21.36mm wide and 3.3g.This type of bell is characteristic of the Danelaw and Irish Sea region during the tenth century.
