Description: | Cast copper alloy terret ring length 30mm, width 32mm thickness 6mm. Circular in plan with a flat bar at the base, that bar is circular in cross-section and is flaked by two expanded collars. The frame of the terret is semicircular in cross-section with a concave underside. On the top inside edge of the frame is a circular cell. This cell is dished with a hole in the centre, the reverse has two concentric rings. This cell is decorative and would have held either enamel or a stone. Overall this piece has suffered heavily from corrosion resulting in a heavily pitted surface and damage to the extremities. Similar examples have been recorded on the database SUSS-6B9B31 and LVIP-3214A3.300BC-100AD
