St. Patrick’s Bell is located in the National Museum in Dublin.  This Bell was mentioned in the Book of Cuanic in 552 AD.  It is part of a collection of relics of Patrick removed from his tomb 60 years after his death by Colmcille.  It is a simple design hammered into shape with a small handle at the top with rivets.  It was originally forged from iron but is now coated in bronze to shield it from human eyes for which it would be too holy.
