Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy bell. The bell has a flat stem with rounded edges which narrow from the rounded top end to the base where it ends in four integrally cast triangular leaves. There is a circular hole drilled though the rounded top end. The leaves have been bent inwards to overlap in the centre and form a spherical bell, the convex base of which is now covered in corrosion or mud.Read (2001, no.465) illustrates a very similar bell which he identifies as coming from decorative horse harness and dating to the 14th century. BUC-B5A456 records two similar bells still attached to the harness fitting.
