Title
Treasure case 2003 T198, Late Bronze Age gold penannular ring from Thwing, East Riding of Yorkshire
Description
English: Penannular ring with narrow stripes of yellow and paler gold; the latter shows some black tarnish. The outer surface of the ring is very worn in patches, including the top of the hoop. The terminals are flat and display some tearing and 'pushing in', indicating that the piece may consist of a gold covering over a core of some other material (usually base metal). This was confirmed in the laboratory. There is a marked ridge internally, along the length of the hoop. There is some distortion of the striping (which is extremely fine), which could have occurred during manufacture. Maximum diameter 18mm; thickness 7mm; width of gap 3mm; weight 10.2 grams. A well-known Late Bronze Age type, decorative in character, dating to circa 1150-750BC.
Depicted place (County of findspot) East Riding of Yorkshire
Date between 1150 BC and 750 BC
