Title
Bronze Age: Gold pennanular ring
Description
English: A gold penannular ring of near-circular cross section. Bands of yellow and paler, silver-rich gold are clearly visible on the inside of the band, less so on the outer circumference where this decorative effect is very worn. Examination suggests that the ring is solid.
An addition to a well known series of decorative rings. This example is the third from Surrey to be recorded under the Treasure Act.
