Object type: BELL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete post-medieval crotal bell cast in copper-alloy. The upper hemisphere features a pair of sound holes. Below the casting seam, the lower half features two sound holes joined by a slot. It is decorated with 'sunburst' pattern around a semi-circular cartouche. It is uncertain as to whether the pea which would have created the sound has survived as the object was recorded uncleaned. The suspension loop is rectangular and slightly bent, with a sub-rectangular perforation. It is long at 16.9mm. A high suspension loop might suggest a 17th-century date (Bailey 1995, 45).
