You know you've been in this game too long when you see a nuclear fusion reactor, and your first thought is...
...oooooooo look! Torc! 🤣

Me again sticking bits of one torc onto another torc, this time #Newark roundels onto the #Netherurd terminal.
Compare the tooled lines....

Another photo that resulted from me trying to get my head around ideas - you can't sit with both the Netherurd and Newark #torcs to compare and contrast them, so this is the next best thing.
The gold pieces are cropped from the collar of #Newark overlaid on the black and white #Netherurd

Bit of exclusive content. A video of what #Netherurd #torc terminal is like, up close.
Terminal is 62mm tall, 53mm across & 29mm deep. It weighs 114g (that's 13 x £1 coins, or 10 x £2 coins) & gold is only about 0.7mm thick. As you turn it in your hand, it's rigid, solid, heavy. Decoration is prominent & raised segments, tooling & dummy rivets feel like a landscape. The light plays as you move it. But the weight is the thing - for its size, it's heavy.

I made these years ago as a way of comparing the decoration on the #Netherurd #Newark , #Sedgeford and the #Snettisham Great Torc
But it's just rather pretty in its own right!
Happy Friday folks! 😊

The #Clevedon torc terminal which can be seen at the #BritishMuseum.
This #torc has always puzzled folks as it appears to show Stage1/2 c.4thC BC motifs on the side, but later Stage V c.1stC BC motifs on the face. This has been assumed to be indicative of longevity of art styles...
... but what if the terminal is actually a cut down torus torc of #Snettisham / #Netherurd variety, remodelled in the later Iron Age?

Bit of a behind the scenes photo - torcs are obviously 2300ish years old, utterly precious and totally irreplaceable.
So when they're moved, even a short distance, they're packed snugly and safely!
Happy Friday all...I hope you're packed snugly and safely whenever you move today! 😉

Hello folks! #TorcTootTuesday (yeah, I know 🤣) is about a #torc very few people know exist - we didn't even know it existed until 2019, when we heard a rumour about it & tracked it down.
It might be only a couple of cm's in size, it might be pretty bashed up, but the #NearStowmarket piece is evidence of another torus torc like the #Snettisham Great torc or #Netherurd - in fact it's only the 4th such torc found!
So yes, it might be a #scrap , but it's an important one!

Just a #pretty #closeup of the #Netherurd #torc , because it's #Monday and we all need to ease into the week gently, if we can....

Ok folks, as you know, #Netherurd is a detached terminal, removed from rest of #torc at some time in #IronAge (c.2100 years ago), before it was buried.
However, dimensions suggest it was once part of torc similar to #Snettisham Great torc and, from aperture in terminal, we know it had a similar neck-ring of 8 twisted springs...
...so I photoshopped it into a complete torc!!
The question is - which torc is lovelier? The Great torc (top) or Netherurd (bottom)?
(NB. I *will* be judging you!! 🤣)

As some of you know, as well as looking at #torcs & #gold, I also make #chocolate #archaeological #artefacts .
It's a #hobby, I don't sell them & often only make something a couple of times. I do it for the challenge!
Rules are it has to be 100% edible & can't have hidden props or internal supports.
As we're heading into the weekend, here's one I made earlier: a chocolate #replica of the #Netherurd torc, as it might have been.
...and to my knowledge the only replica of this torc ever made! 🤣
