Description: | Late Iron Age to Early Roman incomplete cast copper alloy lippid terret. Approximately one third survives. The loop would have been sub-oval. Part of the bar survives, measuring 18.02mm in length, and it has an oval cross section, measuring 5.83mm by 4.6mm. There is a worn break at one end of the bar. At the other end of the bar, the loop increases in thickness to 10.17mm by 10.7mm, and changed to a sub-lozengeform cross section. At the apex of the surviving curve is a moulded lip design, comprised of two triangular protrusions, with a smaller one inbetween - appearing as a shallow 'W'shape in plan. These mouldings increase the width of the loop to 13.23mm. After this moulding, the loop decreases in thickness, measuring 5.27mm by 6.32mm, this length extends for 6.48mm before a worn break. The surfaceis corroded and pitted with only a small amount of the original dark grey-brown patina surviving. The fragment weighs 18.20 grams.
