Description: | An incomplete and worn sheet copper-alloy rumbler bell of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is sub-spherical in form and when viewed from above appears oval in plan. It is formed from a copper-alloy sheet that has been cut into four pointed lobes and folded inwards to encase the pea, one of the lobes and the pea now missin due to old breaks. At the top is an integrally cast suspension loop that is rectangular in form, flattened at the top and with an oval shaped terminal with central circular perforation, missing its outer edge due to old breaks. The entire object measures 25.14mm in height, 13.94mm in width/diameter, and weighs 1.82g. Similar bells recorded on the PAS database (for example SF-ABE783, SF-92A864, LVPL-55FD77, NCL-B71A51 or BH-ADFF45) suggest a Medieval to early Post-Medieval date of between the 12th and 16th centuries for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
