Description: | A complete cast copper alloy bell pendant of medieval date in very good condition, probably a horse harness pendant. The bell has a long sub-circular shaft with a flattened terminal where a loop for suspension is located. At the other end of the shaft is the bell itself, formed of four petals closed in towards each other and by doing so forming the sounding holes. The pea, retained inside the bell, appears to be a small rounded natural stone. The remains of gilding can be seen on part of the shaft as well as the underside of the bell. This is probably a decorative horse harness pendant dating from c. AD 1200-1450.
