132 AN ACCOUNT OF COINS AND TREASURE ment, but the three other sides have each a row of lozenges formed by a triangular punch. Fig. 51 is part of an armlet, which has also been quadran- gular, but has been spirally twisted; the wirelike end has been cut off. Fig. 52 is also part of an armlet, apparently unfinished; it is ornamented with a series of spiral grooves, produced by the hammer, so as to give it the appearance of having been twisted. 53 Fig. 53 is circular, thick in the middle, tapering towards the ends, where it is twisted in a rather unusual manner. This appears to have been entii-ely formed by a hammer. Fig. 54 is also circular, fastened in the more usual manner. Upon it is strung a ring formed on the same principle as the armlets, quite flat, tapering to a point at the ends, which are tied together. This practice of fastening rings upon armlets seems to have been very common, several instances of it having occurred in Denmark. One found at Vaalse in the island of Falster, in 1835, had ten rings suspended from it.
