Description: | A post-Medieval sheet silver spherical bell (c. 1710-c, 1800). The bell consists of four separate silver elements soldered together. It has a suspension loop, an upper and lower hemisphere and a circumferential rib. The wire suspension loop is about 4.3mm in diameter and the upper part is thinner due to wear. Each hemisphere is divided equally by a 'rope-work' rib. The lower hemisphere has a basal slit with a sound hole at each end. A complete spherical sound 'pea' appears to be made of silver. This worn bell is in good condition. There is a small dent on the underside, close to one of the sound holes. Height: 16.2mm; diameter: 12.1mm. Weight: 1.82g.
