Description: | Cast copper-alloy crotal bell dating to the Post-Medieval Period (1500-1700). The object is spherical and has been cast in one-piece. Around the centre of the object is a raised median band. At the top of the object is a sub-rectangular integral one-piece attachment loop the centre of which was drilled. The upper half of the object has two perforated sound holes. On the lower half of the object, half of one broken sound hole can be seen. This would have joined another sound hole by a rectangular perforation. The pea is missing. The decoration on the object is worn. Initials on the base of the object are too worn to decipher. The object has a worn brown patina.
