The 'jaw-dropping' item could go on display in York after spending 28 years stashed in a cupboard.
A 2,000-year-old gold ring believed to have been worn by a Celtic ruler could go on display in York after being sold at auction for £36,000.
The buyer planned to loan the ring to a museum so it could be viewed by the public, auctioneers Noonans said.Dating back to about 100BC, it was thought to have been worn by a chieftain of the Corieltauvi tribe, which ruled parts of what are now the Midlands and Yorkshire before the Roman invasion.Nigel Mills, specialist in ancient jewellery at Noonans, said: "We were delighted with the result of this beautiful ring.
The ring's distinctive abstract design has been linked to the Iceni tribe, which once ruled a large part of modern day East Anglia.
