Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy crotal bell of post-medieval date. Both hemispheres of the integrally cast bell remain mostly in tact separated by a median band which was intended to imitate the earlier two-piece crotal bells. A rectangular suspension loop with central perforation projects from the top of the bell and is flanked by two sounding holes. The lower hemisphere bears an elongated ovate sound slot and the loose pea remains in-situ and functional. A large brake is present between one of the upper sounding holes and the lower sound slot.The metal has a mid brownish-green patina and is worn. The bell is 38.7mm long, 30.1mm in diameter, and weighs 29.2g.
