Description: | A complete copper alloy Post-Medieval spherical (crotal) bell. It has a raised ridge around the centre and moulded 'sunburst' decoration on both faces. There are two circular sound holes on each side of the upper hemisphere and a square attachment loop extends from the apex. There are two further holes on each side of the lower hemisphere joined by a groove. The metal has a silvery sheen to it, suggesting a high lead content and survives in good condition. These bells would have been attached to the collars of livestock and were used for a long period.Diameter: 33.17mm, thickness: 39.11mm, weight: 18.45g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
