Description: | Cast copper alloy one-piece crotal bell or rumbler bell. The bell is spherical with a sub-rectangular suspension loop and sound pea still inside. The suspension loop is of later un-drilled type and is set at a slight diagonal angle to the bell. There is a single circular sound hole, one to either side of the suspension loop, in the upper hemisphere which is otherwise plain. The lower hemisphere as a sound slot with a sound hole at either end. To either side of this slot are the traces of decoration consisting of incised radiating lines. This part of the bell is worn but it does not appear that any maker's initials were originally present. For this reason the bell has been dated broadly.Dated c.1700-1850.
