View full screenComplete silver spiral finger ring, made from three turns, with pointed terminals and nicked edges, from Norrie's Law, Fife, 500 - 700 AD
X.FC 35
6th - 7th century
Early Medieval
Complete silver spiral finger ring, made from three turns, with pointed terminals. The edges of part of the ring’s extent are nicked: this may appear as originally intended or alternatively be the very worn remains of ribbing. Nicks are present along both upper edges of the middle turn, their extent overlapping slightly on the opposite side of the ring, and one the upper inside edge only of each terminal. One of the two plain outer turns of the ring is narrower than the other plain and nicked turn, perhaps indicative of repeated wear, presumably by the ring being worn consistently in the same orientation (i.e. that turn closest to the palm); this also suggests the terminals were worn so as to be visible.
