It is missing part of the upper and lower half due to old breaks, now worn.At the top is an integrally cast rectangular suspension loop, with a central semi-circular aperture. Projecting from the suspension loop is a series of petal-shaped motifs. The upper half of the bell has the remains of one circular sound hole. At the centre of the bell is a prominent circumferential casting ridge. The lower half has the remains of further petal-shaped motifs before terminating in old breaks.This bell measures 37.34mm in height, 29.69mm in diameter, 20.27g in weight.There is a similar example from Suffolk recorded on the PAS database (SF-EFFA05). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
