The tintinabula were, in the Roman world, bells that sounded with the wind, they were placed in gardens, porticoes, domus and shops in Ancient Rome. They frequently had a phallic shape (fascinum) with a religious and superstitious meaning, being an amulet of good luck, fortune and prosperity. The object you see here is based on a Roman bronze tintinabulum currently in the British Museum dating from around the s. I AD Similar pieces have been found at Vesuvian sites, such as Pompeii and Herculaneum.
