A 2000 year old gold necklace discovered in Nottinghamshire is returning to Newark to be put on display at the National Civil War Centre.
The Iron Age Torc, which was discovered by treasure hunter Maurice Richardson in a field near his home in Newark, will be on display at the National Civil War Centre.
Since its discovery in 2005, the piece of Celtic artwork which dates back to 250 BC, was loaned to The British Museum in London.
The rare piece which is rolled and twisted in gold wire, was bought by the Newark and Sherwood District Council for £350,000.
The Newark Torc is one of the most elaborate golden objects made in the ancient world, and would have been made by highly skilled craftsman to be worn as a status symbol.
Now with the opening of the £5.4 million National Civil War Centre in the restored Old Magnus Building on Appletongate, the object can be admired by the public for its beauty.
