Gold alloy torc constructed using two complex techniques. Firstly, eight wires were twisted in pairs to the right. The resulting four strands were then spiralled in the opposite direction, to the left; they were then finished with cast open terminals. Typical 'crimping' provides the only wrought decoration.
