Description: | Complete cast copper alloy crotal bell. A square suspension loop is 17mm wide and 15mm high from the body of the bell. Two sound holes are positioned either side of the suspension hole in the upper half of the bell. The lower half of the bell has two suspension holes connected by a horizontal slot, positioned at right angles to the upper sound holes. The pea is still mobile inside the bell. Corrosion obscures any decoration there may have been, although plain crotal bells are not unusual. Cast in two pieces with a riased central band. These bells date typically from the 16th to 18th centuries.
