Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy (bell metal) bell, retaining its copper alloy clapper and chain. The bell is open-ended, with the rim flaring outwards slightly and being decorated with a single line around this rim; the upper portion of the bell tapers and has a roughly flat top, from which protrudes a tall rounded top loop for suspension. There are file marks evident on this loop but there is no other marking or decoration on the bell. This style of bell was used to adorn horse harnesses and cart trappings and dates from the 19th to early 20th century.
