Summary/Abstract: The Ethnology Department of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo stores one bronze church bell, which had been placed on the Ottoman clock-tower in Sanski Most, in northwestern Bosnia. The bell was casted in 1591 by the Venetian church bell manufacturer Zuane Batista de Antonio del Tonis (Joannes Batista de Antonio de Tonis) for some church in the eastern Adriatic region. It was pillaged by the Ottoman troops and placed on the clock tower in Sanski Most. Church bells were striking the clock alla Turca on numerous clock towers in Bosnian Eyalet (Livno in Western Bosnia, Jajce in Central Bosnia, Banja Luka in Northern Bosnia, Zvornik in Northeastern Bosnia, Foča in Eastern Bosnia, Donji Vakuf in West Central Bosnia, Gračanica in Northern Bosnia, Počitelj in Central Herzegovina, Mostar, the capital of Herzegovina, Trebinje in Eastern Herzegovina, Stolac in Eastern Herzegovina). Some of them, like the ones in Prusac near Donji Vakuf or in Gornji Vakuf in West Central Bosnia, still stand on their clock towers.
