Item Details

Description

Northern Greece, Thrace, Iron Age, ca. 7th century BCE. An elegant torc (also torq) made from two thick bronze wires twisted around each other, terminating in a deliberately bent hook on one end and a loop on the other. Very thin bronze wire is wrapped around the place where each terminal joins the main body of the torc. Torcs were beautiful signs of prestige and wealth from the European Iron Age through the Viking period, so-called from the Latin word "torques," meaning "to twist," because of their appearance. The wearing of a torc is perhaps most famously depicted in "The Dying Gaul" - also known as "The Dying Galatian" or "The Dying Gladiator" - a Roman marble copy of a Greek Hellenistic statue. Size: 6.75" W x 7" H (17.1 cm x 17.8 cm)
