Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy spherical rumbler bell (crotal) of Post Medieval date (1600-1800 AD). The bell comprises two hemispherical domes with a raised circumferential join. About 40% of the upper hemisphere remains with one circular sound hole and a sub-square suspension loop projecting from the top. The curve of the bell continues under the loop aperture suggesting it was made using a detachable 'sprue-piece', this method was introduced in the 17th century. Only a small section (c.5%) of the lower hemisphere remains. The upper hemisphere is plain and not enough of the lower hemisphere remains to see any decoration. The fragment is 33.5mm across and 31.6mm tall including the loop, the loop is 13.8mm tall, 16.7mm wide and 3.8mm thick; it weighs 15.34 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
