Description: | Copper alloy bell fragment or looped mount, possibly of Roman dateThe object is fragmentary (with a length of 23.3mm and a weight of 8.6g). At the apex is an itegral suspension loop (11.4mm high and 14.0mm wide) with an oval aperture (6.2mm x 5.1mm). The loop is of hexagonally faceted section (4.5mm wide and 5.6mm thick). The top of the object is domed and was possibly slightly oval, although little survives (With a surviving length of 25.2mm, a surviving width of 23.4mmand a thickness of 1.9mm). Around the base of the fragments is raised rib. The surface is heavily-pitted and where it survives, it has a dark green patina. The interior has two small indentations at the apex, beneath the loop and may correspond to points where the clanger was suspended, if the fragment is from a bell.The fragmentary nature of the object makes any identification speculative.
