Description: | A Late Iron Age copper alloy and enamel platform-decorated terret ring. The object is in a fair condition with a green patina. It is 36mm long, 35mm wide, 14mm thick and weighs 15.7grams. The object is semi circular, forming about half a complete terret and is decorated. It begins with an incomplete rectangular shaped bar, 10mm thick and 12mm long, which has a sub rectangular section. This sits next to a raised collar which sits about 2mm proud of the surface. on the other side of the collar the terret begins to change shape, it curves round, forming an incomplete loop, it is oval in section next to the collar but then it becomes circular in section. At this point, about half way round, a sub circular collar, 12mm in diameter, protrudes from the terret. This collar is decorated on one side with three triangular depressions filled with a cream coloured enamel. Below the collar and facing the decoration, the circular sectioned shaft has two circular depressions, C.5mm in diameter, one below the other, which are filled with yellow enamel. Just below this point the object has broken off. | Subjects: | Platform-decorated Terret | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
