Celtic ruler's 2,000-year-old ring kept in cupboard for 28 years
A " jaw-dropping" gold ring thought to have been worn by a Celtic leader 2,000 years ago is to be auctioned off - After spending nearly three decades in a collector's cupboard.
The Iron Age jewellery, unearthed in a North Yorkshire field in 1994, up to £30,000.
The Ring dates back to 100BC, decades before The Roman invasion of Britain.
A chieftain of the Corieltauvi tribe, which ruled parts of The Midlands and Yorkshire, is thought to have worn it.
A metal detectorist found The Ring in Knaresborough in the 1990s and sold it to its current owner for a few hundred pounds.
The Collector , a 66-year-old man who wants to stay anonymous, put it in a cupboard for 28 years before deciding to get it valued.
" I'm in my 60s, I don't know how long I'll be around, " He Said . " I thought it really wanted a good home so my children don't have to figure out what it do with it. "
The Ring 's owner initially believed it to be Roman or Anglo Saxon, but when he took it to be valued at the British Museum , experts told him its true age.
" It's jaw-dropping, " He Said .
" It's really quite a mysterious thing. We will never know for sure who owned it but it was probably a powerful Celtic chieftain.
" It's not quite King Arthur 's ring but it's The Next thing down. We're talking about The Beginning of British written history. "
The Ring 's distinctive abstract design is linked to the Iceni tribe, which ruled a large part of East Anglia before The Roman invasion.
Nigel Mills , of auctioneers Noonans, said " There is No Other ring of this style which exists. It's an incredibly important piece. "
The Ring is due to be sold from 15 November.
