Description: | TREASURE CASE 2006 T379 - Acquired by Hereford Museum
Gold penannular ring with body of plump oval cross-section. The ring bears decorative narrow stripes of yellow and paler gold but this is now very worn, especially at the external circumference, and (notably) inside, opposite the gap. The ring can be seen to comprise a gold covering over a base metal core (the gold is peeling back at the ends), which is generally a copper alloy.
External diameter 18 x 20mm; internal diameter 6mm; breadth 7mm; weight 11.74 grams.
Identification
A well known Late Bronze Age type, decorative in nature, dating to circa 1150-750BC.
The piece thus qualifies as Treasure under the terms of the Act. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
