Description: | A complete copper alloy bell of Medieval or Post-Medieval date.The body of the bell is sub-spherical with a complete upper hemisphere. The lower hemisphere is formed of four sub-triangular petals which curve inwards to create an enclosure for the pea, which is still present inside. One petal is a slightly different shape and smaller than the other three.The integral shank extends from the centre of the top of the bell and measures 16.79mm in length. It has a suspension loop, which is slightly broken, with an internal diameter of 2.83mm.This is possibly a hawking bell.
