Neck ring of bronze
Add to album

This bronze neck ring, of a type called a torc, was found at Dungyle Camp at Kelton in Kirkcudbrightshire. It arrived in Scotland from the Continent between 150 BC and 0 AD, perhaps as an aristocratic gift or a personal possession of someone from there.

The 'buffer torc' has a fastener in the form of an iron pin which projects from the centre of one of the buffers.

The wearing of ostentatious jewellery was just one of several ways in which the elite of Iron Age Scotland displayed their wealth and power.
