Description: | Cast copper alloy late Iron Age/early Roman 'simple' terret. The terret has a plain oval hoop with an integrally cast flat bar. At either end of the bar, where the hoop terminates, there is a moulding that is sub-triangular in section. The terret is plain and undecorated. Since recovery it has broken into 4 pieces and attempts have been made to fix it back together with adhesive. The terret (all four pieces) weighs 20g. The largest part of the ring measures 60.18mm in length, this measurement represents the approximate width of the whole terret. The width of the bar on the terret ring is 7.03mm. A similar example can be seen in 'Early Celtic Art in North Britain Vol 2' M Macgregor, Figures 46 & 56. | Subjects: | Simple Terret | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
