Both hemispheres of the integrally cast bell remain in tact separated by a median band which was intended to imitate the earlier two-piece crotal bells. A rectangular suspension loop with central perforation projects from the top of the bell and is flanked by two sounding holes. The lower hemisphere bears an elongated ovate sound slot and the loose iron pea remains in-situ and functional.The metal has a dark reddish-brown patina and is worn. The bell is 33.5mm long, 26.6mm in diameter, and weighs 21.7g.
