The object measures 20.1mm long, 10.7mm wide, 0.61 thick and weighs 1.79g.Similar bells have been found in excavations in London, in both Medieval (see Egan and Pritchard, Dress Accessories, 1991: p338-p339) and early Post-Medieval layers (Egan, Material culture in London in an Age of Transition, 2005: p57).
