Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Norse clapper-bell of Early-Medieval date. It is conical in form, hollow and slightly flattened due to post-depositional damage. At the apex of the bell is an integrally cast suspension loop that is flat, lozenge shaped and has a central circular perforation. The conical body has openwork decoration comprising four pairs of opposing triangles separated by single triangles. It has a thickened rim with shallow groove between the rim and body of the bell. The entire object measures 33.46mm in height, 22.78mm in diameter (slightly flattened), 1.35mm in thickness at rim, and weighs 6.64g.Parallels for this bell are noted from Suffolk (see for example SF-0A9956, SF-2071B7 and SF-4A8FA1) and elsewhere (for example SF-2C7AE4, NARC-D9C172, YOYRM-FD6653 and SUR-B48E74). It is of later Early-Medieval date, c.10th-11th centuries AD.
