Solid Gold Bracelets For Men
A torque, also spelled torq or twist (the Latin 'torquing', twisting, due to the distorted shape of the collar) is a rigid collar and round, which is open at the front, like a horseshoe circular. Typically both ends of the torque had sculptured ornaments spheres, cubes or zoomorphic forms, and less frequently human figures. The body of the necklace was usually but not always, covered. Although the most common were the necklaces, solid gold bracelets for men also existed in this way. The torques were made of interlocking metal strings, usually gold, bronze or copper and silver in very few cases. It is important to note that due to "twist" in Old Irish means "boar", similar to the Gallic "crooked", you can establish a relationship with the sacred value of the animal in Celtic mythology. This would suggest some kind of equivalence between the collar and the animal symbol for death and resurrection. The torques were used by various peoples of the Bronze Age, from 1000 BCC. , to about 300, including the Galatians (or Anatolian Celts), various Germanic tribes of Scythians and Persians. However, it is widely known as a typical Celtic necklace, the period of La Tene, carried mostly by Britons, Gauls and Iberians. One of the earliest known representations of a torque is in the Hirschland Warrior, a statue of a warrior naked itifálica made of sandstone, the oldest life-size anthropomorphic representation of the Iron Age found north of the Alps. It was conducted by Hallstat culture in early Iron Age (800-475a. C. ) And can be observed in the Landesmuseum in Stuttgart Württembergisches. The representations of gods and goddesses in Celtic mythology frequently show the use of torque. The famous sculpture of the "Dying Gaul" [1] Roman copy of Greek original, shows a warrior, Gallo, hurt that he is naked except for the torque. Examples of this have been discovered in Britain and Europe during archaeological surveys [2]. A notable example was found in the Anglo-Saxon Sutton Hoo burial mound. Some authors think that the torque was a female ornament for women until IVa. C. century, when it became an attribute of warriors. However, most authors disagree, arguing that they were used as a sign of nobility and high social status: a military decoration awarded to warriors for their deeds in battle, as well as a divine attribute, based on representations of many gods Celtic have one or more torques. They have found images of the god Cernunnos wearing a torque around his neck, hanging from the torques antlers or holds in his hand, and torques in the tombs of Celtic princes. Because the Roman consul Titus Manlius after a Gallic challenge to a fight and kill him, took his torque and took him as always, he was nicknamed torquatus (the one with a torque). In this way the Romans adopted the torque as a decoration for distinguished soldiers and elite units of the Roman Republican period. The two major Late Bronze torques found in the Peninsula (and more specifically in the current Extremadura) belong to two separate sets of jewelry in gold, called Treasury Berzocana respectively (Cáceres, 1964) and Treasury Sagrajas (Badajoz, 1970). Both are currently in the National Archaeological Museum of Spain in Madrid. Also notable pieces were found in Arguedas (Navarra), in a necropolis celtíbera the second Iron Age (300 BC), that due to the cremation of the body fragments were found. Only one was found in excellent condition, bronze, with two balls flattened at each end. Also, on the coast of Lugo found a solid gold torque, a leading asturnorgalaico piece belonging to type, dating from the first century Chao should do Castro, City of Burela, and belonged to the Cicero-White Collection, which happened to Gil Varela. The characteristics of this torque are typical of this type: circular rod, wire-wound two-thirds tapered ends and finials and Scotland. The middle third has a good job of filigree. Today is exhibited in the Museo Provincial de Lugo. It measures 211 mm in diameter and 65 mm in length of spikes, with a weight of 1,812 grams of high quality solid gold bracelets for men (23 karat), weight well above the average weight they used to have the Celtic torques, about 500 grams. The hippie movement of the 60's and 70's back to the torque to fashion, not only as necklaces and bracelets, but also as rings. The torques solid gold bracelets for men are frequently used today by men and women. On the other hand, the torques are used popularly as pierced ears, nipples, navels and other body parts. The torque is also the symbol of Saoi, Aosdána highest honor, the Irish organization of artists who can be granted to any of its members. A British man with a metal detector in England found a torque of solid gold bracelets for men and silver from the Iron Age. News of November 20, 2008. . . .
