Title
Bronze Age twisted torc fragment (plan)
Description
English: Gold fragment of a twisted torc, or arm/neck ornament, with three-flanged twisted body, which is triangular in section, and expanded terminal, which is circular in section. Twisted ornaments from this period are normally four-flanged and square in section, so this example is unusual, and perhaps was rejected as it has been levered off the longer piece at one end and folded in on itself, ready to be placed in a crucible and melted down to be re-used. The terminal also looks unfinished. Similar examples have been found in a gold hoard from Amalveor, Towednack, also in Penwith, but these are square in section. Pearce (1983) illustrates this hoard on page 693, Plate 140, No.142, and another example of a flange-twisted torc with expanded trumpet terminals from Dorset on page 614, Plate 53, No.413b.
