Description:
|
A cast copper-alloy crotal bell. The suspension loop is rectangular with an as-cast aperture. The upper half of the bellchamber is undecorated, and the lower half has a sunburst design. At the centre of the base, on one side of the sound slit, there is an uncertain maker's mark, which possibly includes the letter 'C'. The iron pea-clapper has been lost to corrosion.
