Encrusted clump of two intact brass crotal bells. 381 grams, roughly 4" x 3-1/2" x 2". A pair of round "jingle-type" bells that appear to be intact but are completely "frozen" and embedded into the side of a large mass of white encrustation whose raison d'etre is almost certainly related to an iron object, small rusty pieces of which are exposed and visible on the bottom, a very attractive and interesting display overall. From the mid-1500s "Pewter Wreck," with Global Marine Exploration photo-certificate #PC01563 (unsigned). Recovered from: "Pewter Wreck," sunk in the mid-1500s off Santo Domingo
