Description:
|
A cast copper-alloy crotal bell with iron pea-clapper corroded to internal wall. The suspension loop is of trapezoidal form with a circular hole, which was probably drilled. Decoration appears to be limited to the bottom half, which has a fish-scale pattern. The circumferential rib between the two halves is slight.
