A sheet copper-alloy bell of Medieval date, about AD 1200 - 1400. The form of this piece suggests it may have been a horse harness pendant (cf. Griffiths 1986: 4, no. 20 cited in BH-95B355).  The bell chamber is made from a piece of sheet metal which has had its corners folded inwards, creating a void in which the 'pea' is enclosed. It does not appears to be magnetic, suggesting the pea is made of copper alloy. The hanger is a bar which projects from the apex of the bell; it is of circular cross section and tapers to a rounded end with a circular suspen…
