For Whom the Bells Tolled

The catalogue For Whom the Bells Tolled presents a selection of large and small bronze, iron and brass bells from the archaeological and ethnological collections, as well as the repository of the Tolmin Museum. Some bronze items from the archaeological sites Loke – Kolenovica and Ajdovščina have been contributed by the Goriška Regional Museum (Goriški Muzej).
Since the area of Posočje has been characterised by the summer mountain pasture and pasture on the nearby lowland pastures since ancient times, most of the presented items are cowbells. The bronze Roman bells from the Vipava Valley are finds discovered at sites that have nothing to do with mountain pastures.
