Description: | Terret ring fragmentFragment of a very robust copper alloy terret ring. It is broken at both ends, leaving only a small section of the full ring. The ring is circular in cross section, and is decorated with a double lip moulding. There is a drilled circular hollow on the interior face of each lip, which may originally have been filled with enamel. There is a raised moulded line around the ring where it meets the lips on either side.Parallels: The form of the lips is paralleled in many terrets from the related 1843 hoard. In size the piece is closest to M 65-69, which also show drilled indentations, but the form of the lips (solid, with a raised moulded lip where they meet the ring) is more similar to M.52-4. It resembles Spratling's (2011) style group IV. Measurements: Length: 41.25mm; diameter of ring: 12.61mm to 9.72mm; diameter of lip moulding: 22.95mm; weight: 51g
