Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy rumbler or crotal bell of probable Post-Medieval date. Approximately one quarter of the bell survives intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. Parts of both hemispheres survive intact, separated at their centre by a raised circumferential ridge. Both are decorated with moulded tongue or foliate motifs that radiate from the centres of each hemisphered towards the central ridge. At the incomplete centre of the base is one side of a rectangular sound slot with a semi-circular area of moulded decoration containing a hammer shaped maker's mark. The entire object has a dark brown patina and measures 44.47mm in width, 41.29mm in length, 2.14mm in thickness and 25.79g in weight. This is an incomplete crotal bell of probable Post-Medieval date, c.16th-18th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
