Bronze Age Gold from Wales
Middle Bronze Age gold bracelet
This is a round-sectioned bar of gold, which has been simply bent into an oval bracelet shape. The lack of careful shaping of the bar and the ends (terminals) of the bracelet suggests this was unfinished when lost or buried. Therefore, it is called a 'pre-form' bracelet and is thought to be of Middle to Late Bronze Age date (1500-800 BCE).
