View full screenFragment of silver bangle with undecorated sub-circular terminal, from Norrie's Law, Fife, 500 - 700 AD
X.FC 53
6th - 7th century
Early Medieval
Fragment of a plain silver curved-section bangle with undecorated terminal. The body of the bangle has been formed by repousse and some fine texture from toolmarks remains; these are clearly visible at the transition to terminal. The junction between the body and terminal is marked by a raised border, and then two gentle facets which create a sub-circular-shaped terminal with rounded end. The back of the terminal has a sharp, neat cut from one edge that appears to be a deliberate clip; a similar cut is found on other bangle terminals: x.FC 46 and x.FC 44. The broken edge of the bangle body is partly straight (perhaps hacked) and partly irregular.
