Title
279 Early Medieval bell side2.JPG
Description
English: Bell 
  Early Medieval 900-1000 

  31mm tall, 26mm diameter, 1mm thick 

  

  Six sided cone.  Comprises of six sides that taper inwards from the base upward to a point at the top.  At the base each angle is extended slightly to produce a serrated effect.  Towards the top of the cone there are four holes (1.5mm diameter) arranged around the circumference.  At the top there are the remains of a base for a collared loop.  
 

  Copper alloy, mid green colour, unfortunately none of the original surface remains.  The bell has been slightly flattened, most of the loop at the top is missing, slight damage on one section of the rim and there is a crack in the middle of the body.
An example that is almost exactly that same as this find was found in York, find number 10528 (Mainman and Rogers, 2000, 2599). Batley (1988, 215) has been suggested that these bells possibly has a Norse origin and generally date to the 10th century (Mainman and Rogers, 2000, 2599).
