Description: | A copper alloy Post-Medieval animal bell. It is complete but the metal is worn and there are patches of corrosion. The bell is composed of two conjoined hemispheres with a central ridge, with sound holes on opposite sides and a small, flat loop for suspension on the top. The lower hemisphere is cleft with the opening expanded into two more circular sound holes. The bell is decorated on the lower hemisphere with looping incised lines, but the pattern is obscured by corrosion. A mark representing a founder's hammer can be seen within a semi-circle, near the opening on one side. The 'pea' probably made of lead, is in tact within the bell cavity. The bell measures 34.37mm in height and 27.34mm in diameter. It weighs 26.03g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
