“Other favorite amulets were a small perforated disk and a little bell. One of the latter is seen on a bracelet worn by Marti, daughter of Jarhai [Istanbul, Museum of Antiquities, no 3794].
These bell amulets have been found in considerable numbers in Roman Syria and Palestine, of different sizes and shapes, and apparently all of bronze; some which are cast and of some thickness, are ornamented with bearded faces on opposite sides [they are on exhibition of the American University of Beirut].”
