Description: | An incomplete sheet copper-alloy rumbler bell of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is missing the top of the suspension loop and the pea due to old breaks. The object is sub-spherical in form and when viewed from above appears square in plan. It is formed from a copper-alloy sheet that has been cut into four pointed lobes and folded inwards to encase the now missing pea. At the top is an integrally cast suspension loop that is conical in form, flattened at the top and with an incomplete terminal that appears to have the remains of a central aperture. The entire object measures 20.02mm in height, 10.23mm in width/diameter, and weighs 1.45g.Similar bells recorded on the PAS database (for example SF-ABE783, SF-92A864, LVPL-55FD77, NCL-B71A51 or BH-ADFF45) suggest a Medieval to early Post-Medieval date of between the 12th and 16th centuries for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
