Description: | CORONOR'S REPORTGold bronze age braceletDescriptionFragment of one end of a hollow gold bracelet; the terminal has a cap which was made separately. The piece was made from thick sheet gold rolled into a tube, now crushed.The piece appears to be the missing end of a bracelet reported earlier (2006 T34; see analysis results) and published in Treasure Annual Report 2005/6 (pp 19, Fig. 11). This was suggested to be of possible Middle to Later Bronze Age date, from circa 1300BC, although it is unusual in being hollow.Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal, this piece qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
