Description: | A copper alloy spherical bell dating from the Post Medieval period. It is made in two halves, joined at the median band where there is a ridge. There are two circular sound holes in the upper half, and a slit with a hole at each end in the lower half. There is no decoration or a maker's mark. A broken tab projects from the top. This would have been perforated to act as a suspension loop, but the tab is broken before the hole. The ferrous rumbler or pea survives inside the bell.
