Description: | Cast copper alloy animal (crotal) bell. Complete apart from a missing area next to one of the upper sound holes. The suspension loop is square; 14mm high and 15mm wide. The upper hemisphere is plan and has two sound holes. The compleet hole is 7.3mm in diameter. A raised band around the central hemisphere. The diameter of the bell around the central hemisphere is 41mm. The lower hemisphere is decorated with a sunburst pattern around two sound holes connected by a slot. Each side of the slot is the initial of the manufacturer. One initial is a W. The other is obscured by corrosion.makers marks containing a W are numerous. however, the most likely possibility is William Dunnn, who worked from London, Bloomsbury, betweem 1800 and 1852, or William Gwynn, who worked from Aldbourne from 1770 to 1813.
