There are seven known rings of the Anglo-Saxon period (9th or 10th century) bearing runic inscriptions. The most notable of these are the Bramham Moor Ring, found in the 18th century, and the Kingmoor Ring, found 1817, inscribed with a nearly identical magical formula read as :''ærkriufltkriuriþonglæstæpontol'' A third ring, found before 1824 (perhaps identical with a ring found in 1773 at Linstock castle in Carlisle), has a magical inscription of a similar type, ''ery.ri.uf.dol.yri.þol.wles.te.pote.nol.'' The remaining four rings have much shorter inscriptions. * Wheatley Hill, Durham, found 1993, now in the British Museum. Late 8th century. Inscription: ''()ring ic hatt()'', "I am called a ring". * Coquet Island, Northumberland, found before 1866, now lost. Inscription: ''+ þis is -'' "this is…". * Cramond, Edinburgh, found 1869-70, now in the National Museum of Scotland. 9th-10th century. Inscription: ''()ewor()el()u.'' * Thames Exchange, London, found 1989, now in the Museum of London. Inscription: ''()fuþni ine.'' ==Bramham Moor Ring== The Bramham Moor Ring, dated to the 9th century, was found in Bramham cum Oglethorpe, West Yorkshire before 1736 (now in the Danish National Museum, no. 8545). It is made from electrum (gold with niello), with a diameter of ca. 29 mm. The inscription reads〔 : :''ærkriuflt | kriuriþon | glæstæpon͡tol'' Where ''k'' is the late Futhorc ''calc'' rune of the same shape as Younger Futhark ''Yr''. he n͡t is written as a bindrune. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anglo-Saxon runic rings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
