Object Description
A fine ancient Roman bronze tintinnabulum or wind chime. The piece features three chimes in the shape of a zoomorphic head and neck. These stylistic chimes are attached with a suspension loop to a central triangular suspension piece. The central piece takes the form of a hollow cone with triangular cut-outs, and tapers to a ribbed bar, before terminating in a triangularly perforated finial. This would have allowed the piece to be hung in an entranceway.
Date: Circa 1st-4th Century AD
