via Vietnam Net, 08 February 2023: 14th century bell recognised as a Vietnamese national treasure.

A bell at the Roi pagoda in the central province of Ha Tinh has been recognized as a national treasure.

The artifact is being preserved at the Ha Tinh Museum. It dates from the 14th century, and was discovered by local people in late 1989 on bare ground at the Roi pagoda (now a ruin) in Truong Xuan village, Cam Thinh commune, Cam Xuyen district in Ha Tinh Province.

In 2019, after decades of being placed in many places, the bell was handed over to the Ha Tinh Museum for restoration and display.
