Sedgeford Torc, Iron Age gold neck ring in Norfolk, England.
The Sedgeford Torc consists of intricately twisted gold wires forming a neck ornament with cast terminals displaying La Tène decorative patterns.
The primary section of this Iron Age artifact emerged during field harrowing in 1965, while its terminal remained hidden until discovery in 2004.
The creation method involved forty-eight gold wires twisted in pairs, then combined into groups of three, reflecting advanced metalworking skills from 200-50 BC.
Visitors can examine this gold artifact in Room 50 of the British Museum, where it remains a central piece of the Iron Age collection.
The complete torc required twenty-five meters of gold wire, connecting it to similar pieces like the Great Torc from Snettisham through regional craftsmanship patterns.
