Description: | Part of a copper alloy post medieval spherical bell (also known as a rumbler or crotal bell), probably dating from the early eighteenth to the early nineteenth century. Only about 10% of the bell survives. The fragment is from the lower hemispherical dome and the straight edge of the sound slit is present. The bell is decorated with an engraved sunburst design radiating from a circle at the base. The circle contains an engraved WG and this is the makers mark. The breaks are patinated and worn and the metal has a dark greyish green patina.For comparison see Bailey 1992: 43 and SWYOR-4A9F41
