Description: | An almost complete cast copper alloy crotal bell post medieval or modern in date (AD1500-1900). The bell is spherical and consists of two halves welded together forming a raised median band. The upper hemisphere has two perforation holes on either side, and at the top is a square topped suspension loop. The lower hemisphere has two perforation holes joined together by a sub rectangular perforation slot. The lower hemisphere is decorated with a 'sunburst' design of looped linear grooves. The fact that the bell is only decorated on the lower hemisphere suggests it is of later date. The lower half is quite worn, with faded decoration and damage, with part of the copper body bent inwards. The pea is missing.
