Central European
Pair of Torques
Middle Bronze Age, c.1500 BC
Bronze
Height: 12 cm
(Stock no 8184)
Two bronze twisted pennanular Torques from Central Europe. Though some other examples survive, bronze torques from this age are rarely found in pairs. These neckaces would have been a demarkation of exceptional wealth and to wear a pair would suggest the owner’s especially high status.
