The most amazing thing about this find is that it is
the missing end of an otherwise complete torc which was itself discovered in
1965. The torc is believed to be dated back over 2000 years. The
terminal has now being reunited with the original piece at the British Museum.

Detail
This
particular piece is of interest because the way it has been severed from the
main torc gives a clear view of a strengthening bar actually inside the
terminal.
The following pictures show the bar and intricate detail.
