A unique, 2,000-year-old ring worn by a Celtic chieftain was kept in a cupboard for nearly 30 years, before its collector finally decided to get it valued - and made a jaw-dropping discovery
A "jaw-dropping" ring thought to have been worn by a Celtic ruler 2,000 years ago was kept in a cupboard for nearly 30 years.The "incredibly important" ring is now set to be auctioned, and is expected to bring in about £30,000.
Its collector unearthed it in a field in North Yorkshire in 1994 and kept it in a cupboard before deciding to get it valued 28 years later. Experts called in to examine the ring realised it was probably worn by a chieftain of the Corieltauvi tribe in the Midlands and Yorkshire.The ring is perhaps the only example of its style.He said: "I'm in my 60s, I don't know how long I'll be around. I thought it really wanted a good home so my children don't have to figure out what to do with it."
