Description: | An early medieval copper-alloy bell. The bell chamber is of hexagonal section, tapering towards the top, where it is surmounted by a damaged loop. Inside the bell is a large amount of iron corrosion probably due to the corrosion of the clapper. Two sides of the bell have been slightly squashed inwards. The object has a green patina.This type of bell is sometimes known as a "Norse" bell, and is characteristic of the Danelaw and Irish Sea region during the tenth century.
