Fragment of a glass bangleThis fragment of a glass bangle was found at Fraoch Eilean at Loch Awe in Argyll. It was made in Ireland and brought to Scotland probably in the 8th century as either a gift or a possession of an Irish visitor. The bangle was ornamented with a distinctive dot decoration on a dark background. This bangle fragment with its distinctive decoration is of a type known from Ireland, but otherwise not found in Scotland. There was much contact between western Scotland and Ireland during the first millennium AD, as in previous millennia. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
