A complete cast copper alloy spherical “crotal” bell of post-Medieval to Modern date (1770-1813). The sub-rectangular suspension loop at the top is about 13.0mm long, 14.2mm wide and 3.8mm thick and has a sub-rectangular aperture which is about 7.2 x 4.2mm. The curve of the bell continues under the loop aperture suggesting it was made using a detachable ‘sprue-piece’, this method was introduced in the 17th century. The upper and lower hemispheres are divided by a prominent horizontal circumferential rib. At either side of the suspension loop, about half way down the side of …

An incomplete cast copper alloy spherical “crotal” bell of 17th or 18th century date (1600-1800). The suspension loop is missing and the upper and lower hemispheres are divided by a prominent horizontal circumferential rib. At either side of the position of the former suspension loop, about half way down the side of the upper hemisphere, is a sound hole. One of the holes, the smaller, has casting flash around the edge. The other hole has a diameter of about 6.0mm. Two larger sound holes in the lower hemisphere were integral with a sound 'slit'. The lower hemisphere is fractured …
