Fragments of 'Permian'-style rings have also been discovered in Skye's Storr Rock hoard.
East European silver in #Viking Gotland: Known as Permian rings and originally worn around necks, these striated rings, some with cubo-octahedral bullion weight style terminals, were twisted into arm-rings in Scandinavia (before being imitated there).

We're all absolutely devastated to hear about the passing of our dear friend and author, Dr. Ryan Foster. His chapter in our book was brilliant, but we will miss him by far the most for his kindness and friendship. Rest in peace, Ryan.
Farewell, my friend. You were a brilliant scholar, but that was nothing compared to your kindness and generosity. Your work on @VikingScotland and your huge contribution to Viking-Age studies are testament to your talents, but I'll miss you as a pal the most, @M_Ryan_Foster.
How wonderful to see The Viking Age in Scotland on @DCRB24's fantastic LibGuide! Thank you!
