Roman copper alloy bell
Roughly cylindrical-shaped bell with slightly flared foot and domed upper section with angular suspension loop and oval-shaped hole. The lower body of the bell is squashed and part of the edge lost. Most of the club-shaped iron clapper has survived, and although in two pieces the upper looped section is still attached to the interior loop.
