Bronze Age Gold from Wales

This is a double-wire penannular ring with looped terminals. It is made from a continuous loop of round-sectioned gold wire that has been folded over and bent into shape. It has deformed through crushing, probably while in the ground. The exact function of this object is uncertain but it may have been a finger-ring, earring, hair-ring, or other jewellery ornament.
