Object type: BELL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy bell of probable Roman date. The piece is half spherical and has been quite crudely cast. The walls of the bell are thick (up to 3.5mm) and are heavily encrusted on the inside. The bottom edge of the bell is rough in appearance due to the presence of a number of decorative "teeth". These cover approximately half of the edge, the other half being flat and plain. The clapper is missing but a protrusion on the inside of the bell indicates its former existence. A copper-alloy wire extends upwards from this protrusion forming a bent hanger on top of the bell. A sub-circular h…
