Description: | Copper alloy Spherical Bell. Cast one piece crotal bell with a rectangular top loop, a pair of circular blowholes in its upper hemisphere which bears crudely incised lines radiating from the loop, and a pair of round sounding holes joined by a slot in its lower hemisphere. The latter is decorated with incised lines forming a rayed pattern which originates from the initials W C [or G], either an owner or a maker. One half of the lower hemisphere is lost along with the iron clapper - no traces of rust were observed, so breakage may have occurred before deposition. One blow hole is distorted by post-depositional damage. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1700.Diameter: 42.7mm, Height: 51.4mm, Thickness (wall): 1.9mm, Weight: 53.56gms.
