Description: | An incomplete Post Medieval cast copper alloy crotal or rumbler bell. The bell would have been spherical in shape but has been broken and only approximately 60% now remains. The two hemispheres are separated by a raised band where the two halves of the casting mould came together. The lower hemisphere would have had a sound slit dividing it with two circular holes at either end of the slit. The upper hemisphere has a a sub-rectangular suspension loop attached which has an oval shaped hole through its full thickness. The loop is flanked on one side by a small circular hole in the upper hemisphere which, when the bell was complete, would have been matched by another on the opposite flank. Both hemispheres are decorated with a floral or sunburst design. The bell is 34.03mm in diameter and 43.58mm incuding the loop and weighs 33.05g.
