A complete copper alloy post medieval crotal bell dating to the 18th to mid 19th century. The bell is complete, has a green-brown patina. and the iron pea survives.
The bell is spherical with a rectangular suspension loop at the top.In the top half of the sphere, a circular perforation has been drilled either side of the loop. Around the circumference, there is a raised ridge. The lower half of the bell has a long straight opening ending in a circular perferation at each end, each just below the raised circumferential ridge. The bell is 35.19mm in diameter, and with the loop included, the height is 43.56mm. The bell weighs 47.56g. The upper half of the bell is plain. On either side of the long opening at the base of the bell is decorated. One side accomodates a sun burst design and the other side, a three legged cross. Surrounding the designs is a geometric pattern of oval shapes, spanning away from the sun burst and three legged cross. The geometric pattern is more visible on the three legged cross design side.
Blunt ('Crotal Bells' page number 9) suggests that crotal bells that only have decorations on the lower hemispsheare tend to be of a later date (late 18th century to mid 19th century).
