Description: | A complete copper-alloy bell of Medieval date.At the top is an integrally cast rectangular suspension loop, with a circular aperture towards the outer edge. The bell is spherical in shape and is formed by folding four integral triangular sheets forwards to create four circular sound holes with diagonal sound slots. The bell retains its pea and still rings.This bell measures 15.51mm in diameter, 25.94mm in length, 5.82mm in width at the suspension loop, 4.30mm in thickness at the suspension loop, 6.38g in weight.This bell was perhaps used as a hawking bell. There is a similar example recorded on the PAS database (IOW-CD9F86).
