Description: | An incomplete Post-Medieval cast copper-alloy spherical 'crotal' bell (1650-1850 in date), consisting of most of the upper hemisphere and a small section of the lower hemisphere. It weighs 23.74g and measures 34.41mm in diameter. It stands 41.51mm in height.Both upper and lower hemispheres are decorated with an incised 'sunburst' design. The upper hemisphere has two sound holes, one in front and one behind the rectangular suspension loop, which has a hole (damage) directly beneath it. Contemporary illustrations often show bells worn as sets on the harnesses of larger animals such as oxon and donkeys.
