Description: | A cast copper alloy post-Medieval spherical 'crotal' bell probably dating from 1600-1800. It has a rectangular suspension loop at the top with an oval perforation. The upper and lower hemispheres are divided by a circumferential rib. The upper half has two circular sound holes, one to either side of the loop, and the lower half has two more, connected by a slit. There is moulded 'sun-burst' decoration around this, but no maker's mark can be determined because of wear to the metal. There is a dark green patina over most of the bell. It measures 27.64mm in diameter, 35.38mm in height and weighs 34.53g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
