Roman gold wire necklet
Imperfect, badly crushed gold necklet, now consisting of twelve loop-in-loop links of spirally-round wire, and a figure-of-eight terminal. The terminal is formed of two single wires bent into circles, their ends being brought together to form the hook for attachment. Inside the circles there is a finely-beaded ring.
