Viking arm ring; 876-950; found in the English Channel. Arm-ring formed of four gold rods plaited together; these are of circular section tapering towards their ends which are bound with gold wire and fused into a plain bi-conical knop; one end has sprung apart at this point. Its abraded surface condition obscured the detail of the nicking, which is present, but cannot be accurately counted. Medium: gold; plaited, bound.
