An incomplete Post-Medieval copper alloy spherical (crotal) bell. There is a raised circumferential ridge around the centre where the two hemispheres would have met. However, only a portion of the lower hemisphere now remains. The remaining half is decorated with a flower-like pattern, consisting of petal-like sections radiating out from a central raised line, each formed from an outer grooves surrounding a central grooved. The metal has a silvery sheen to it, suggesting a high lead content. Such bells would have been attached to the collars of livestock. Length: 27.84mm, Width: 22.…

Object type: THIMBLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy domed Post-Medieval thimble. The dome rises to a slight point in its centre. The indentations appear to be hand-made as they are deeper at one side than the other. They are arranged in a spiral suggesting that the object is of 16th century date, when this became the most popular arrangement (Holmes 1999, Datasheet 9, p.2). Imported thimbles, with machine-made indentations, became popular in the following century, after the technique was introduced in 1620 (ibid. p.3), suggesting that this thimble was unlikely to have been produced long after this date. It has quite thick w…
