Description: | Complete gold composite penannular ring of Middle or Early Late Bronze Age date (1300 BC - 1100 BC). Length (if straightened) c. 48mm, width 9mm. Weight 3.57g. The ring is a tri-partite composite type. The three elements are lightly C-shaped in cross-section and have apparently been soldered together. Each of the elements is about 3mm in width. The object is in good condition although it is crumpled and not in its original form. The item falls into the category of Bronze Age composite rings which have clear associations with twisted bar ornaments, onto which they can be threaded (Taylor 1980, 56-7, pls. 34, 37 and 39). See also Eogan 1994, 59, fig. 22.
