Description Treasure reference 2018 T563: an Early Medieval silver Carolingian silver mount, partly gilded and inlaid with niello, and decorated with Carolingian-style plant ornament. The mount is oval in plan and domed at the front with high, curved sides. The domed surface is decorated in relief, with the higher-relief sections of the design inlaid with niello and the lower-relief sections gilded. The selective gilding appears to be deliberate, rather than the result of wear on the higher relief elements of the design. The domed surface is dominated by a raise cross motif. The…

A gilded silver mount of early medieval date. It is roughly oval-shaped and the front depicts a human mask flanked by stylised birds' heads. Substantial gilding survives across the front surface, with areas missing or worn off on the mask's brow and nose, and the outer border above the brow.

Traces of additional stamps are now obscured by wear and damage. The mask's eyes are pellets set w…

Early Anglo-Saxon cast copper-alloy mount in the form of a bearded and moustached bust surmounted with horns. On the flat reverse are three integrally cast, round-sectioned, tapering, blunt spikes. The nose and eyes are in high relief and the hair, beard and moustache are picked out by closely spaced vertical, horizontal and diagonal grooves, and in part outlined by lines in relief. Both ends of the drooping moustache project beyond the outline of the face. The pointed-oval mouth and the non-bearded parts of the cheeks are emphasised by their plainness. The horns spring directly …
