Description

Arm-rings are among the most common items of jewellery.

From the earliest times, they have appeared in various shapes and materials.

The wearing of leg-rings was limited to the Bronze and Iron Ages.

Together with spiral rings and mountings, arm- and leg-rings form an essential aspect of our archaeological legacy.

They not only decorated the body but also accumulated value.

This volume offers a comprehensive, systematic guide to the object groups.

Typical forms are presented, described, and illustrated in a study of jewellery in German-speaking countries from the Palaeolithic era to the Middle Ages.

This reference work is aimed at any interested reader but also provides a practical tool for recording and indexing museum and archaeological collections. First comprehensive systematics of pre- and early historical arm and leg ornamentsSuitable for academics as well as interested amateurs
