Description: | Copper alloy Spherical Bell fragment. Cast crotal bell fragment, comprising part of the upper hemisphere of a one-piece cast bell with a single blow hole and a low rectangular top loop. A greyish tint may indicate the presence of tin in the metal mix, perhaps for its acoustic properties. The interior surface is stained by rust, suggesting the loss and deposit of the bell with its iron clapper, and its subsequent decay and breakage. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1700.Diameter (in excess of): 27mm, Height: 23.7mm, Thickness (wall near middle): 1.9mm, Weight: 8.70gms.
