#arm-ring

Viking arm-ring, 10-11thC

Annular gold arm-ring of three plain rods twisted together; each is broadest at the centre and tapers to ends which are encased in gold sheet, forming a faceted rectangular knob; a piece of gold wire was twisted round on either side, but one side only survives. The knob has four ring-stamps, one in each corner of a lozenge on each of its three outer faces. The ring is slightly distorted. The surface is worn and pitted, but there are traces of a couple of nicks.

Viking silver arm-ring, 9-10thC

Silver Hiberno-Scandinavian broad-band arm-ring, formed from a broad band of rectangular section, with punched ornament on its outer face; the expanded mid-portion tapers evenly to sub-rectangular terminals which have rounded ends, slightly overlapping. The central field is decorated with two longitudinal pairs of interlocking rows of T-stamping , nine in each,on

Viking arm-ring, gold, 10thC

Arm-ring formed from a pair of twisted gold rods of circular section, with a pair of twisted wires laid between them (of which a short length is missing towards one end), the rods are slightly tapering towards plain straight-ended terminals. The ring is worn, with some surface damage, so that the number of nicks is uncertain.

I made an arm-ring

super basic but it felt good just to be hammering something again
