Title
Bronze Age penannular ring: Striped ornament
Description
English: A small gold penannular ring ('hair ring') of Later Bronze Age date. The ring has a sub-circular cross section and the ends of the terminals are flat. The alternating decorative banding would originally have shown as bands of yellow and a paler, silver rich gold; the silver rich bands are now tarnished to a silvery-grey colour. This ornament may be similar to WAW-F3AE27 on which examination at the British Museum was shown to have complex three-tone striping. This ring belongs to a well dated group of ornaments of the Late Bronze Age, circa 1150-750 BC. Several other examples of banded ornament rings have been declared through the Treasure Act including those from Essex (2004 T502), Warwickshire (2005 T552), Dorset (2013 T383) and the Isle of Wight (2014 T593).
