Description: | A Post-Medieval hollow spherical silver bell in the form of a hawking bell. The bell was formed of two domed sections put together to form a hollow sphere and a thin line remains around the maximum diameter of the bell. The lower hemisphere has damage in the form of small dents and a small irregular perforation. The upper hemisphere has at it's centre a complete but bent and squashed attachment loop. The centre of this hemisphere has a concave dent, presumably having occurred when the loop was squashed flat and bent against the bell. The loop seems to have had a rectangular cross-section, of approximately 0.86mm thickness and 1.75mm width. The diameter of the loop can no longer be determined but in it's flattened state has a length of 6.49mm. To either side of the attachment loop is a small sound hole. The two sound holes have a diameter of 1.71mm. One of these holes has been slightly deformed due to the dent below the loop, it now has a sub-oval appearance and a small crack runs from the edge of this sound hole towards the mid-point of the bell. Weight is 2.02g, diameter is 12.87mm, height is 9.27mm and height including squashed loop is 11.12mm.See PAS records NLM-EC5002 & NLM-48D984.
