Title
Post-medieval animal bell (crotal)
Description
English: A fragment of a cast copper-alloy spherical animal bell (crotal) of post-medieval date. The fragment comprises half of the lower of two hemispherical domes, the hemisphere naturally divided in two by the sound slot, and vestiges of the upper hemisphere broken around a sound hole, together with a raised circumferential join. The upper hemisphere would have had two circular sound holes with a rectangular tab projecting from the top between them.

The upper hemisphere is seemingly plain from the small amount that survives. The sound slit on the lower hemisphere is flanked by an indented line. Against the slot is a semicircular cartouche with lines radiating out from it, of alternating variable lengths. The maker's mark is the initials I H, within the cartouche. This suggests that the maker was John Higden of the Reading foundry (fl. 1619-1652; Bailey 2005, 45).
