Early Medieval silver arm ring
Fragment from a penannular arm-ring of Hiberno-Viking type which has the form of a broad flat band of silver or rectangular cross-section with punched ornament on one face. The expanded mid-portion tapers to one complete and now severed ends. The outer face is ornamented with a row of vertical transverse bar-stamping to either side of a central diagonal cross, the punch having a plain centre, between toothed edges. It does not appear to have been cut as hack-silver (no evident shear-marks) but to have fractured along the serrated bar stamps at wither end. Whether this was intentional or accidental it is not clear.
