Description: | Cast copper-alloy crotal bell dating to the Post-Medieval Period (1500-1700). The object is spherical and consists of two halves joined by a raised median band. The upper half has two perforated circular holes on each half on the object. There is a broken oval attachment loop at the top of the object. On the lower half there are two circular perforations which are joined by a rectangular perforation. The upper sphere is decorated with incised lines which radiate down from the attachment loop. These lines curl into a spiral just above the median ridge. Below the ridge the decoration is unclear and at the base is the letter S. The pea is intact inside the object. It has a mid brown patina and is in good condition.
