A copper alloy cast spherical bell (also known as crotal or rumbler bells). The bell is divided into two hemispheres by a girth ridge. The lower hemisphere has the remnant of a long aperture with rounded ends. One side is broken. The upper hemisphere has two circular holes, one on each side. On the top of the upper hemisphere is a small pointed attachment loop with a drilled circular aperture. The upper hemisphere is decorated with eight drop shaped foils, each with a longitudinal mid line. The remaining half of the lower hemisphere is decorated with three drop shaped elements each decorated with a mid line groove and flanking transverse grooves creating a leaf or feather-like design.
