Description: | A cast copper alloy clapper bell of Roman date. The bell is hollow and conical in shape, and as this is an open bell there are no sounding holes. There is an integral suspension loop and a hole at the peak of the bell although there is no sign of the internal clapper. The bell is decorated with a double concentric ring around its waist, above n-shaped indented panels that form the very base of the bell. This artefact appears to be suffering from bronze disease.
