Winchester Hoard, Iron Age gold collection in Winchester, England
The Winchester Hoard contains two sets of high purity gold jewelry weighing 1,160 grams, including torcs, brooches connected by chains, and bracelets.
Dating from 75 to 25 BCE, the gold pieces display Roman manufacturing methods rather than Celtic techniques, indicating cross-cultural influences before the Roman conquest.
The jewelry pieces contain gold content between 91% to 99%, reflecting advanced metallurgical knowledge and sophisticated craftsmanship of ancient metalworkers.
Visitors can examine the Winchester Hoard in Room 50 of the British Museum in London, where it remains permanently displayed among other Iron Age artifacts.
The discovery in 2000 by metal detectorist Kevan Halls resulted in a £350,000 reward, the highest amount granted under the Treasure Act 1996.
