Cast copper-alloy item of uncertain age and function. The item is sub-rectangular with a raised (now broken) rectangular sectioned shaft rising from the centre.

Workflow stage: Published
Description: A gold hoop probably dating to the post-medieval period, almost certainly modern. The hoop is circular in shape and is formed from a single gold wire that has been twisted along its length. There is a small crimp visible, where the wire has been joined.

Other examples of twisted wire rings are made of two interwoven strands, such as LON-031583. Conclusion: In terms of precious metal content, this artefact qualifies as T…
