Description: | A copper-alloy 'Norse' clapper-bell that was originally conical in form, but is now slightly distorted and squished on one side. At the apex of the bell is an integral flat pentagonal shaped suspension loop. A line of alternating triangular holes have been cut in to the side of the bell forming a band that runs around its circumference. Traces of iron corrosion in the upper regions if the bells interior indicate where the missing clapper would have originally hung.See SF-A755C5, SF-0A9956, SF-2C7AE4, NARC-D9C172, YOYRM-FD6653 and SUR-B48E74 for similar examples
