This is a thick, oval-sectioned wire that has been coiled three times to produce a spiral ring with simple, unelaborated terminals. The style of this object is not closely datable, but it is considered to conform to similar gold objects dating to the Middle and Late Bronze Age. It may also date to the Late Iron Age.
