Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy spherical or crotal bell of Post-Medieval date. Approximately half of the bell is missing due to old breaks. It has an undecorated upper half with two opposing circular sound holes and an integral rectangular suspension loop that has a small circular perforation. There is a prominent circumferential casting ridge or seam around the centre of the bell that divides the two halves. The lower half of the bell is also undecorated and has the remains of a transverse rectangular sound slot that terminates in circular sound holes. It measures 39.78mm in width/diameter, 46.71mm in height, and weighs 34.31g. This bell is of Post-Medieval date, probably belonging in the 17th-18th centuries AD if not slightly later. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
