Title
Granta Fen Torque (detail)
Description
This torque was found with a cache of other objects of gold and bronze in 1850 in a bog in Granta Fen, Cambridgeshire, England. It found its way into the possession of Lord Londesborough, but at auction of his collection in 1884 the hoard was dispersed. The torque was bought by General Sir Pitt-Rivers and displayed at his museum at Farnham in Dorset. From there it came into the Hunt Collection.
