Description: | Copper alloy Harness or Hawking Bell. Sheet metal spherical bell made of two halves meeting at a protruding median rib, with a sounding slot between two sounding holes in its lower hemisphere. The top is torn and the means of suspension and clapper are lost. The suggestion that this may have been used for hawking arises from the very thin metal and consequent light weight. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1650.Diameter: 19.8mm, Height (as found): 15.7mm, Thickness (wall): 0.2mm, Weight: 2.47gms.
