Description: | Rumbler bell also known as a 'crotal' bell with scale decoration dating to the 16th or 17th century AD. They were attached uppermost on harness, sometimes in rows set in leather cups producing a 'rumbling' noise made from a metal sheet with a folded over attachment loop. The bell is spherical with a moulded lip around the waist. The upper hemisphere contains two circular holes and a rectangular loop. The lower has the traditional channel joining two circular holes. An iron pea survives in the centre. The lower hemisphere is decorated with an incised sunburst design of oval petals. The diameter is 25mm.
