Fragment of a medieval to post-medieval sheet copper alloy composite rumbler bell, a badly distorted fragment of the upper half with a separate suspension loop. On the inner face the inserted ends of the loop are entirely covered by a patch of lead solder. The dimensions of the main body are not measurable.
