Description: | Worn and corroded copper alloy fragment of a post medieval crotal bell. The bell is spherical with an equatorial raised band separating the upper and lower halves. At the uppermost point of the top half is a sub-rectangular suspension tab with an arch-shaped perforation. One half of the lower part of the bell is missing, fractured around the sound slit and propogating up to the top half into one of the two circular holes flanking the suspension loop. A very small amount of patination on the worn surface survives suggesting that the lower half at least was decorated probably in a dagrooned pattern, which is common for the type. Despite the bell being broken open the spherical clay pea survives complete. Circa 1650-1800 AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
