ملاحظات	A torque is a stiff metal ring, usually open at the front, which is worn round the neck. They were originally made of twisted metal, as the name implies, and were used as indications of rank in Celtic times. They survived as part of the traditional jewellery in a number of places. This torque, described as a â Tok â, was acquired in Cairo before 1869, and carries Egyptian silver marks from the mid-19th century. It was described as âmodern Egyptianâ, when acquired but was probably made for women of the Siwa oasis, in the desert between Egypt and Libya. The jewellery of Siwa is different from that worn elsewhere in Egypt, and huge torques, like this, are one of the most characteristic items. The word â Tok â simply means torque in Arabic, but the word â Aghraw â is Berber in origin and specific to the torques of Siwa.
