Description: | An Iron Age copper alloy beaded section probably from a beaded torc (circa 800 BC-AD100). The object is hollow and gently curves. At one end there are two diametrically opposed circular perforations, possibly rivet holes. The middle section is decoration with moulded ridges and grooves that extend 75% around the circumference, the inner surface is smooth. Mid green patina. A similar example is illustrated in MacGregor (1976 no. 201) however that example does not have the rivet holes and the beading is slightly different. Dimensions: length: 39.80mm; diameter: 9.26mm; weight: 19.64g. Reference: MacGregor, M. 1976. Early Celtic Art in North Britain. Volume 2. Leicester University Press, Leicester. No.201.
