Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy crotal bell of probable Post-Medieval date. It has an integrally cast rectangular suspension loop at the top, with a central oval aperture. The upper half of the bell has opposing circular sound holes and moulded decoration comprising radiating leaf or petal-shaped motifs. At the centre of the bell is a prominent circumferential casting ridge. The lower half has two opposing sound holes connected by a long rectangular sound slot. It has the remains of decoration comprising projecting leaf or petal shaped motifs radiating from the sound slot to the circumferential ridge. On one side of the sound slot at the centre of the bell is a large number 2. The bell shows signs of post-depositional wear, but retains its iron pea and still rings. It measures 39.23mm in height, 31.50mm in diameter, and weighs 38.46g. This is a cast copper-alloy crotal bell, probably dating to the Post-Medieval period, c.1600-1800 AD | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
