Description: | A sheet copper-alloy rumbler bell of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is sub-spherical in form and when viewed from above appears square in plan. It is formed from a copper-alloy sheet that has been cut into four pointed lobes and folded inwards to encase the iron(?) pea. At the top is an integrally cast suspension loop that is conical in form, flattened at the top and with an oval shaped terminal with central circular perforation. Traes of gilding are visible on some of the exterior surfaces. The entire object measures 21.50mm in height, 10.65mm in width/diameter, and weighs 2.70g. Similar bells recorded on the PAS database (for example SF-ABE783, SF-92A864, LVPL-55FD77, NCL-B71A51 or BH-ADFF45) suggest a Medieval to early Post-Medieval date of between the 12th and 16th centuries for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
