Description: | A complete copper-alloy animal rumbler or 'crotal' bell dating to the Post-Medieval period, c. 1500-1700. The bell survives in very good condition, with its sub-rectangular integral suspension loop and internal iron pea present. From the suspension loop, a series of radiating lines decorate the top of the bell, while the bottom half underneath the latitudinal ridge which divides the object in two has been covered with a 'fishscale' pattern. From the top of the suspension loop to the base of the sound chamber the bell measures 36.93mm, the maximum central diameter of the object is 29.23mm, and it weighs 31.15 grammes. The bell is covered with an even green patina, and survives in good condition.
