Description: | Incomplete post-medieval silver bell. Composite, the hollow upper and lower halves origianlly soldered together and now broken at the median rib with only a fragment of the lower half surviving. Multiple median concave mouldings radiate from the base of the separate, soldered wire suspension loop which is partially covered in copper corrosion. The surviving part of the bell is squashed and broken. There are no surviving marks. Original diameter (reconstructed) circa 30mm. Surviving height 13mm. Small bells similar to this were in use from the 16th century as dress accessories and hawking bells, but it may be 17th or 18th century, and as it cannot be dated to before 1713, it has not been reported as potential treasure. Very similar to an example from from Northamptonshire (NARC-84A217).
