An incomplete and fractured post-Medieval copper-alloy spherical animal 'crotal' bell (1600-1800). The sub-rectangular suspension loop at the top is 7.0mm high, 11.3mm wide, 4.8mm thick and has a circular perforation. The upper and lower hemispheres are divided equally by a horizontal circumferential joining rib. At either side of the suspension loop, about half way down the side of the upper hemisphere, is a small circular sound hole. About half of the lower hemisphere is missing due to breaks. One side of the sound slit and part of each hole at either end are present. The iron…

A complete but broken post-Medieval copper-alloy spherical animal 'crotal' bell (1755-1825). The 'D'-shaped suspension loop at the top is 16.0mm high, 18.8mm wide, 6.5mm thick and has an inverted 'D'-shaped perforation. Within the perforation are the remains of an iron chain loop. The upper and lower hemispheres are divided by a prominent horizontal circumferential joining rib. About half way down the side of the upper hemisphere, at either side and opposite each other, there is a circular sound hole. On one side, between the holes, is a number '3' which may indicate its size or ca…

A complete post-Medieval cast copper-alloy spherical animal 'crotal' bell (1600-1800). The sub-rectangular suspension loop at the top is 8.4mm high, 12.6mm wide, 4.7mm thick and has a circular perforation. The upper and lower hemispheres are divided equally by a horizontal circumferential joining rib. At either side of the suspension loop, about half way down the side of the upper hemisphere, is a small circular sound hole. In the lower hemisphere there are two larger sound holes integral with a sound slit. The corroded iron sound 'pea' moves freely within the bell. The upper he…
