Description (Physical description)
Large iron cowbell. Made from a single piece of sheet iron bent into a slightly bulbous square shape with a seam down each side and fixed with rivets creating an open bottom. The clapper is a length of iron bent around an internal suspension bar and widened at the lower end. A horizontal strap suspension loop runs across the top and a finely oscillating band of applied metal decorates the surface. A short crack is visible to the corner of one of the curved faces.
