Description: | A copper-alloy almost complete bell, that is likely to have originally been rectangular in shape although it is slightly distorted now, measuring 67mm in length and 38mm in width at its rim. The rim is missing except for one corner where two faces meet, at this point the rim as a semi-circular knop and is unthickened. The suspension loop of this bell is hexagonal in shape externally and oval in shape internally. Inside the bell fragments of corroded iron remain which may be remains of the straight clapper. Similar bells have been found which are Roman in date both from Richborough (1932, 78-79 Plate X no, 18) and Wanborough (2001 p77-78, Fig 29, No 6). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
