Description: | An incomplete probable tin alloy crotal bell of post-medieval date. The bell is made in a one-piece mould and the suspension loop is integral. The upper hemipshere has two sounding holes and has sunburst decoration arranged vertically. The bottom hemisphere also decorated with the same design. The crotal bell is quite badly damaged, with a large crak in the upper hemisphere while half of the lower hemisphere is missing. There are no makers' or foundary marks. It appears as though the outside has been silvered. This style of crotal bell dates from the 16th to mid 17th century AD.
