arm-ring

Silver arm-ring of broad penannular band with the ends folded in and the whole then flattened; irregular, plain edges enclose punched decoration consisting of two outer rows of triple-pelleted, convex-sided triangles (or 'heater' shapes) pointing inwards, sandwiching an uneven, median, double row of paired-up, rough trapezoids and triangles (probably made with a single punch), which also occur at right angles to each other between the pelleted triangles, except towards the square terminals, where one of the median rows becomes four apex-to-base, triple-pelleted triangles on their sides, while the other begins to broaden into two such rows from the fold; four testing nicks on one edge and five, or six on the other.
