Description |
English: Small bell made from white metal, now squashed nearly flat, but probably originally rectangular in cross-section. There is a lozenge-shaped loop at the apex; the base has been cut into four pointed Vs which have been bent in together to close the bell around the pellet. Although the bell is still closed, no pellet survives. The faces running down from the front and back of the loop are c. 12 mm wide and are decorated with relief cross-hatching, forming neat lozenges with a pellet in each lozenge. The faces running down from the sides of the loop are c. 15 mm wide and are decorated with a central vertical line with oblique lines to either side forming chevrons; the motif may represent a veined leaf. There is a group of bells with similar line-and-chevron decoration among the white-metal bells excavated in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, nos. 1668-71) which all date to the 13th century. All of these found to be made of pure tin and it is possible that this bell, despite a rather dull patina, is also made of tin. These bells are uncommon metal-detector finds as they are very vulnerable to plough damage. |
