Description: | A hanging/suspended Medieval copper-alloy bell. This is probably from a horse harness pendant and suggests a 13th or 14th century design .The solid suspension arm has a worn hole at the top and the bell chamber is made of a piece of sheet metal which has had its corners folded inwards. This forms an open cross and the bell, which still rings, contains a pea (probably bronze). It shows no signs of decoration, however it may have been gilded once. Measurements - 31mm high, 14mm wide and it weighs 6g
