Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Late Iron Age lipped terret of Spratling's group V, dating to the period c. 100 BC - AD 25. The terret consists of a curved frame which is ovular in cross-section, and joined by a straight bar of triangular cross-section. A large flattened bulbous knop is located at the point where the frame meets the bar on both sides. The frame itself is comprised of six pairs of 'lips', each joined by a short, concave section of frame. The terret has a reddish-brown patina.Spratling, M, G, 1972, Southern British Decorated Bronzes of the Late Pre-Roman Iron Age, pp. 667, Fig. 8, nos. 36 & 37.
