Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy crotal bell dating from the Post-Medieval Period (1500-1600 AD). The object is spherical and consists of two halves joined by a raised median band. The upper half has two perforated circular holes on each side of the suspension loop. On the lower half there are two circular perforations which are joined by a rectangular perforation which has been damaged by the loss of 25% of the bell. Between the upper two sound holes is a sub-rectangular attachment loop.The upper hemisphere has a 'sunburst' design and the lower hemisphere has a 'fish-scale' design. The object has a dark-green patina and is corroded in places.
