Description: | Fragment of copper alloy Iron Age to early Roman beaded torc (AD 1-150). It is curving, 57mm in length and weighs 20.78g. It comprises an open-ended tubular terminal, 7mm long and 7mm in diameter (internal 5.5mm). This extends from a 12mm diameter disc, 7mm thick with an 8mm diameter and 2mm thick disc abutting it. From this the torc narrows to 5mm and expands again to a 11mm diameter disc bead which is 4mm thick abutted on both faces with a smaller (8mm) disc. Of this trio of discs there are four interconnecting as described above. From the fourth extends a worn and broken (ancient) projection c.3mm in diameter and 4mm long. Probably this thread runs through the object and the discs are fitted around it. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1
