Description: | Romano-British Pendent sheet bell, conical but flaring outwards towards the rim. The clapper, of square section with a groove down one face, is suspended from a wire loop which passes through a perforation in the crown. Cf. an example from Colchester that is of more rounded profile, and decorated with engraved lines (Crummy 1983 no.1811). Height 13mm, diameter 23mm. The clapper is very long, so that even when the suspension loop is pulled upwards to a maximum, it hangs 10mm below the rim. All elements remain freely swinging and the object produces a gentle tone when rung. | 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
