RecordTriangular silver bowl< 1 of 1 > Back From Traprain Law, East Lothian
Triangular silver bowlThis silver bowl was found at Traprain Law in East Lothian. It was part of a hoard containing over 150 silver objects, mainly tableware, buried between 410 and 425 AD. The hoard included over 50 bowls of various shapes and styles. The unusually shaped bowl is triangular, with beading on the top. All the silver in the large Traprain Law hoard was treated as scrap, with virtually all of it cut up and bent over. It probably represents payment to ensure the loyalty of a friendly chief, but other theories include payment for warriors or loot.
