Celtic Torc,from hex bar

Description

Here's yet another torc.
Forged stainless steel 5/16ths hex bar.
This particular design,unlike most torcs is worn with the finials behind the neck.The bar simply ends in an open space that's just narrow enough for me to squeeze my neck through if I turn my head to the side...
The ring is perfectly flat (not cambered)and strangely,it sits on my neck perfectly. Proof I'm weird.Ain't it great?
This pattern is forged (with the oxy-acetylene torch),by twisting the hex bar 1/4 turn back and forth. The true effort(at least with this one)was to keep the pattern even throughout.I have a fairly extensive collection of books on Celtic art and metalwork which provide endless inspiration.I am constantly amazed at the level of craftsmanship extent in the ancient world.

This piece is for sale.
Note me for pricing.
