Description: | Bronze age gold ring, Diameter 14x12.5mm. Diameter of rod 3mm. Weight 4.39 grams.
Small gold ring comprising a length of round-sectioned gold rod; the plain, flat terminals meet (but not perfectly).
While this object belongs broadly to the class of Bronze Age penannular rings, it has more in common with the Middle Bronze Age type which includes composite rings than with the later Bronze Age series. Simple rings of plain round-sectioned rod have been found in association with Middle Bronze Age composite rings in North East Norfolk (G Varndell in Treasure Annual Report 2004) and in the Cirencester area (S Needham in the same volume). They should be placed circa 1300-1150 BC. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
