Well, that’s just it. I can imagine the shaping of an octagon - just barely - but the perfect twisting blows my brain. These were obviously very skilled artisans who had done this many times before.

Yes, this one is gorgeous - the precision of the form is incredible. Sometimes I just can’t wrap my head around what it took to make torcs like this.

The terrible truth is that most gold items that are stolen will be melted down before any recovery can occur, like the Egyptian bracelet. Thieves care nothing for the historical value. 😞
