Description: | A Iron Age cast copper alloy terret ring with integrally cast rectangular strap loop. The strap loop has a rectangular skirt dividing it from the ring which is damaged by old breaks. The ring has two rounded knops on either side of the ring on its widest point and a third knop at the top. Wear from the harness or reins is evident as one side of the loop has been worn thinner than its opposing side. The ring itself is roughly ovoid in cross section. The terret ring measures 44.9mm diameter (including the knops), while the skirt measures 32.1mm wide. The strap loop measures 28.17 x 14.5mm. The terret ring weighs 34.80 grams.
