Add to album
These two bangles of cannel coal or shale were found at Dalry in Kirkcudbrightshire and in Barhapple Loch in Wigtownshire. They date from between 200 BC and 1000 AD.
The bangles are in two sizes, with the smaller one probably worn by a child.
Producing bangles from cannel coal or shale involved flaking, sawing, carving perforating and polishing. It required patience and skill to make the simple, smoothed bangles pictured here.
