Description: | Medieval (late 13th to early 15th century) bell: An incomplete, copper-alloy sheet spherical bell. It is missing its lower half and pea due to probable recent damage. The damage being the bell has been squashed. There is a flanged seam line where the two halves would have originally been joined together.
