View full screenSilver bangle terminal, undecorated and broken at the transition to bangle body, from Norrie's Law, Fife, 500 - 700 AD
X.FC 46
6th - 7th century
Early Medieval
Silver bangle terminal, undecorated and broken at the transition to bangle body. The terminal is the same form as x.FC 53 and x.FC 44, delineated by a raised border, and two rounded facets which create a sub-circular-shaped terminal with rounded end, but is slightly larger and therefore unlikely to be from the same object. 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 53 and x.FC 44. The raised border separating the terminal from the bangle body has two roughly-made overlapping incised lines which may relate to hacking. The reverse of the terminal is damaged and corroded.
