Celtic bronze ring money amulet pendant with four knobs, likely worn as a personal talisman or symbolic form of proto-currency. The ring amulet is strung on a modern leather jewellery cord with clasp to allow for modern wear. -> Amulets of this type are associated with Iron Age Europe and are attributed to Celtic cultural contexts. They may have served as personal adornments, status symbols, or, in some cases, as forms of proto-currency prior to the widespread use of coinage. -> The repeated rounded projections may have served both decorative and symbolic purposes, possibly emphasising status or identity within a community, while also enhancing the visual impact of the piece when worn.
