Celtic torc, Snettisham torc

The torc is a Celtic neck ring of iron, gold, silver or bronze. Men, women and children of high descent wore thetorc as a status symbol. It also functioned as a currency: rich Celts kept gold torcs as an investment. The torc was associated with gods and noble mythical Celtic figures. Cernunnos wears a torc on the Gundestrup kettle. An example of an original Celtic torc is the Snettisham torc. Our replica shows what a luxury object this torc was. Discover our collection of torcs.
