Description: | A fragment of a post-Medieval to Modern cast copper-alloy spherical animal "crotal" bell (1770-1813 AD).The upper and lower hemispheres are divided by a prominent horizontal circumferential rib. However, this fragment mainly consists of one side of the lower hemisphere of the bell.It can be seen from the small portion of the upper hemisphere that it was plain. The lower hemisphere, below the circumferential joining rib, has a 'sun-burst' design. A maker's mark: W G is situated at the sides of the sound slit, probably indicating that it was made by William Gwynn of Aldbourne, who was active 1770-1813.The surfaces have a shiny dark green patina and the breaks appear to be recent.Height: 31.41mm; diameter: 37.89mm. Weight: 20.35g.
