97- 1943.16. 1943 .16 . forts. and he at ohce replied: "No": 1 "How do, you remove such heavy, strong rings from the veck of a dead'woman?" was my next question. lie did not reply in wordai'but he ran his finger round his own neck, indicating. that under such cir- cumstancewthey cut off the head in order to remove the rings." Om tillverkningen av stora halsring av mässing skriver Weeks: "Large brass rings for the neck were made inthe folio- wing way: The potato-like substance of th plantgin root.was'cut into shape of the desired circumference and thickness; this model was surrounded with well-kneaded clay, a funnel-shaped openingbeing made to let off the steam, to 01~ out the charred fibre of the plantgin root, and to polar in the molten metal.. This mould, when completed, was baked in the fire, an as it baked the plantgin-root model insi- de was burntithe ashes were cleared out and the.liquid brass poured in.- When cool the mould was broken and the brass ring was weil polished by scraping and rubbing and "herring-bone", and "lozenge" pat- terns were cut on it."
