It's amazing how much this looks like the Snettisham torc (discussed on this page of our site) - it's of the same age and found in England. I wonder if it was made by the same craftsman? Very intriguing. I notice this was found back in 2005, so it's not a new find - but new that the British Museum aquired it.
