Description
English:

A complete post-Medieval copper-alloy spherical animal "crotal" bell (c. 1600-c. 1800).

The semi-circular suspension loop at the top is 4.8mm high, 6.9mm wide, 1.7mm thick and has a circular perforation. The upper and lower hemispheres are divided by a prominent horizontal circumferential joining rib. About half way down the side of the upper hemisphere, at either side, there is a circular sound hole. Two sound holes in the lower hemisphere are integral with a sound slit. Both hemispheres are plain. There is no indication of a maker's mark. An irregular shaped iron sound 'pea' is freely moving within.

The outer surface of the bell is reddish brown with green corrosion products.

Height: 28.4mm; diameter: 23.3mm. Weight: 16.62g.
