Description: | A copper alloy conical-shaped clapper bell with a suspension loop. The suspension loop is 10mm in length and 11mm wide and has a circular impression in the centre of its flat top. Beneath the suspension loop are three tranverse grooves. The lower part of one side of the bell is missing, it is therefore incomplete. The inside of the bell contains a corroded metal deposit, within which the clapper may survive. A parallel for this bell can be found in Crummy (1983, 127 fig 143), although the parallel is slightly smaller in size. The bell is Roman in date and was possibly originally attached to the halter or collar of a cow, sheep, goat or domestic pet or perhaps used as a personal ornament. | 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
