Title
IOW-A4F063 Post-Medieval Animal 'Crotal' Bell
Description
English: A complete and damaged post-Medieval cast copper-alloy spherical animal 'crotal' bell (1600-1800).

The sub-rectangular suspension loop at the top is about 11.6mm long, 16.5mm wide, 3.6mm thick and has an inverted 'U'-shaped aperture. The upper and lower hemispheres are divided by a prominent horizontal circumferential joining rib. At either side of the suspension loop, about half way down the side of the upper hemisphere, is a circular sound hole. One is larger than the other. Two sound holes in the lower hemisphere are integral with a sound "slit". The upper hemisphere is plain and the lower hemisphere has a 'sun-burst' design. Maker's initials are situated at either side of the slit: 'W K'. A spheroid iron 'sound-pea' remains intact within the bell and moves freely.
The outer surface of the bell is very worn and has been cleaned. Traces of a dark green patina survive.

Height: 37.58mm; diameter: 29.51mm. Weight: 36.52g.
