Description: | A complete post-Medieval cast copper-alloy spherical 'crotal' bell (dating from c. 1500 - 1700). The sub-rectangular suspension loop at the top has a sub-circular hole. The body has an upper and lower hemisphere divided equally by a subtle central casting rib. Two sound holes in the upper hemishere. Two soundholes in the lower hemishere connected by a slot. Etched lines around the lower slot, and also around the suspension loop, suggest a sun-burst pattern. The iron pea is still intact and mobile.
