Description: | An incomplete Post-Medieval copper alloy spherical (crotal) bell. There is a raised ridge around the centre and both hemispheres appear to be decorated with faint moulded petals radiating outwards from the apex. There are two circular sound holes on the upper hemisphere and two joined by a rectangular hole on the lower hemisphere. Part of the lower hemisphere is missing. Part of an attachment loop extends from the top. The metal has a silvery sheen to it, suggesting a high lead content. These bells would have been attached to the collars of livestock and were used for a long period. Length: 30.96mm, diameter: 29.96mm, weight: 21.00g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
