Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman clapper bell. Only the suspension loop and a fragment of the body of the bell survive, the rest is now missing due to old breaks. The suspension loop is distinctive; it is hexagonal in external shape and oval internally. It measures 15mm in height and 17mm in width externally. The fragment of the bell measures 23mm in surviving width and 5mm in height. There are two circumferencial grooves where the suspension loop joins the body of the bell. Inside the bell the corroded iron remains of the clapper can be seen. Similar bells have been discovered at Stonham Aspal, Suffolk (see SF10260) and at the Romano-British small town at Wanborough (Anderson, Wacher and Fitzpatrick 2001, 77-78, fig 29, no 7). | Subjects: | clapper | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
