Description: | A late Medieval to early Post Medieval sheet metal rumbler bell, probably for use on an animal, c. AD 1350-1550. The bell is made from two sheet metal hemispheres soldered together, and a separate flat-sectioned loop, fixed on the inside of the bell. The bell has suffered significant damage to its lower hemisphere and sound slit, resulting in the loss of the pea. The upper hemisphere and loop are intact, but the body of the bell is crushed from where the bell has been broken. For a similar example recorded onto the PAS database, cf.: SUR-2601D2. The bell measures 35.49 mm high, 29.87 mm diameter (slightly distorted due to damage); weight 10.36.
