Description: | A complete cast copper alloy crotal bell of post-medieval date. The bell is divided into two hemispheres by a worn, median, raised 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 upper hemisphere and is flanked by two sounding holes. The upper hemisphere is undecorated. The lower hemisphere bears an elongated ovate sound slot and appears to be undecorated. The pea remains in-situ and functional.The metal has a dark brown-dark green patina and is worn. The bell is 36.49mm long, 30.8mm in diameter, 2.66mm thick and weighs 38.01g.
