Description: | Incomplete copper alloy 'crotal' bell, Post Medieval AD1500 - 1800. The bell is divided into two hemispheres by a central rib. On the top of the upper hemisphere sits a rectangular loop. On either side of the loop are two circular 'sound' holes. The lower hemisphere has two larger sound holes on either side, joined together by a sound 'slit' running along the bottom of the bell. It is very worn with no visible design, although there may have been a pattern on the lower hemisphere. Near the 'slit' are two small triangular marks, this could be damage or the remains of a design. The internal 'pea' no longer remains and a pale patina is developing. The bell weighs 49.29g, 37.65mm height, 30.21mm widthSimilar examples can be found on the database PUBLIC-4A1372, LANCUM-66A434
