| Title |
Treasure case 2005 T544, Iron Age gold wire from 'Gayton Area', Norfolk
|
||
| Description |
English:
A piece of gold wire made from four strands twisted.
The wire was made from 4 smaller wires (diameter c. 2.4 mm) twisted together in a clockwise spiral giving an overall diameter for the twisted wire of 5 mm. The wire piece weighs 7.24g and is 20mm long (unstraightened). The fragment appears to have been cut from a larger piece of wire at one end, although the other end appears to be a break. Analysis shows these wires are made of over 80% gold. |
