Summary
[edit]Description02023 Silver neck-ring, around 966 — 1100 AD, Robbers’ Mountain near Połczyn-Zdrój.jpg |
English: MNS/A/22232/1 The neck-ring is braided out of five pairs of wires, twisted around each other. The tips were flattened into oval, undecorated plates. One of them ends with a hook, while the other end is broken off. In the middle section, the twist on the wires is looser, making the neck-ring thicker in this part. The neck-rings in the early Middle Ages were usually made of silver, with bronze being a less popular choice. They were made out of wires in several ways – from a plain, singular wire with a round or quadrangular cross-section, sometimes flattened into a ribbon, through necklaces twisted from two or three wires, all the way to accessories made out of several pairs of wires - from two to eight. The simplest neck-rings had their ends twisted into an eyelet and a hook, while the ends of more elaborate ornaments were flattened into oval or rhomboid plates ending in an S-shaped hook and a teardrop-shaped eyelet. Some were adorned. |
