Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy crotal bell of Post-Medieval date. A small fragment of the bell from next to the sound slot survives intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. The fragment is approximately oval shaped in form with the middle section of the sound slot present at its base(?). It is slightly curved in profile and has a dark brown patina. On the front face are the remains of moulded decoration comprising a central shield containing a hammer or T-shaped motif, probably a makers mark, with incomplete foliate/leaf decoration on the surfaces surrounding the shield. This object measures 11.28mm in length, 24.67mm in width, 0.88mm in thickness, and weighs 2.19g. This is a small fragment from a Post-Medieval crotal bell similar to other examples recorded through the PAS and is of probable 17th-18th century AD date, if not a little later. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
