Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy crotal or rumbler bell of Post-Medieval date. It is spherical in form with an integrally cast rectangular suspension loop with a circular hole and opposing circular sound holes on the upper hemisphere. It has a prominent ridge between the upper and lower hemispheres and circular sound holes connected by a rectangular sound slot on the lower hemisphere. All sound holes and the slot are open and the ball is still present. The bell is decorated around the bottom hemisphere with six evenly spaced arches comprised of two engraved lines. At the base of these are two circumferential lines with possibly a hammer or a maker's mark but it is too worn to be certain. It measures 31.55mm in diameter, 42.59mm in height and weighs 31.24g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
