Hi to all,
suppose our team doing work now Snettisham Great Torc
ancient Celtic cultures, torcs were a common form of jewellery and were made from bronze, copper, silver, and gold.
Gold alloy torc with ornamented terminals. The torc is made from just over a kilogram of gold mixed with silver. It is made from sixty-four threads. Each thread is 1.9mm wide. Eight threads were twisted together at a time to make eight separate ropes of metal. These were then twisted around each to make the final torc. The ends of the torc were cast in moulds.
