Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman bell, dating from the mid-first to second century AD. The bell has a silvery appearance inside and out, indicating a high tin content to the alloy. The bell has an integrally cast lozenge-shaped suspension loop and there is no decoration visible on the outer surface. Inside the bell is a small copper alloy loop with the remains of the iron clapper. Similar examples are illustrated in Crummy (1995:127).
