Description: | Copper alloy and iron possible bell. Small cast harness bell resembling the form of an open mouthed bell with a flared rim, but with the mouth here closed by an integrally cast convex surface, now with a central aperture perhaps enlarged from its original size. Ferrous corrosion at the top may suggest an iron clapper has been lost, possibly connected to a loop or other suspension device. The object is smaller than, and distinct in form from, the spherical crotal bells attached to livestock. An alternative identification, perhaps as a small furniture fitting, might be entertained. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1700-1800.Diameter: 19.7mm, Height: 14.6mm, Thickness (at mouth): 0.4mm, Weight: 3.59gms.
