Description: | A complete copper alloy animal (crotal) bell, dating to the Post Medieval period. The bell is formed of two hemispheres joined by a raised circumferential join. The upper hemisphere has two circular sound holes, whilst the lower hemisphere has a long sound slit with rounded ends. The free-moving, iron pea survives within the bell. A 'D' shaped integral suspension loop survives at the top of the upper hemisphere. The surface of the bell is decorated with the typical 'sunburst' pattern, now very worn.The bell measures 33.15mm in height including the loop (27.5mm excluding), 27.7mm in diameter and weighs 23.46g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
