The bell is capped by arched openwork mounds, decorated with silver, gold and copper, and has two facing human heads at either side. The main panel would have been its most decorated but is lost, apart from various animal heads on both sides of its upper wings. The shrine was built for to enshrine an early Christian Iron hand-bell dated to c. 1100, used to mark canonical hours and to call for mass. The shrine is badly damaged, having lost all of its front plate and one of its sides. It is first mentioned in Irish records in 1825, and has been in the British Museum's collection since 1854. (en)
