Pommel in gold of cocked-hat form with garnet cloisonné animal ornament. Found in three fragments, the ends detached (now rejoined); basal edges badly damaged with the cellwork ruptured and multiple stones lost, fractured or sunken; and without its core. Plain apex and rivet-housings cast (with a break at the join of the apex and shoulder one side), with the remainder made of sheet metal. Paired rivet-housings each end, plain, except for reeding at the junctions with the pommel body; one gold rivet, full length (L. 22mm). Cloisonné: one side has geometric ornament, the other has Style II animal ornament. The geometric design is half missing, but probably included a quatrefoil of mushroom-shaped garnets centrally, as well as stepped forms. The flat red garnets were backed by two types of cross-hatched gold foils: ‘standard’ foils were used on the side with geometric decoration, and in the animal design for the legs and probably heads/jaws of the creatures; different ‘boxed 3×3’ foils were used for the neck and body parts of the animals. A square of millefiori glass (blue and red checked) is set between the creatures’ heads. The shoulders have curved garnets with backing foils (pattern type obscured). Gold lidded cells were used to create the background to the animal ornament. Style II: the design is of two confronted creatures, quadrupeds shown in profile, their jaws interlocked and forelimbs entwined. A quatrefoil with a central swastika is formed by the crossed heads and jaws (cf. pommel 74). Interior: no sheet joins visible. Wear/marks: ?light wear overall.

Plain apex and edge-frame cast, the cellwork and rivet-housings made of sheet metal. Paired rivet-housings each end; one gold rivet, full length. Cloisonné: the sides have animal ornament. The shoulders have identical geometric cellwork, with stepped, mushroom-shaped and equal-armed cross forms. The cells are filled with a decayed inlay of unidentified type. Style II: the animal ornament is different each side (the cellwork is somewhat inexpert). One design shows two confronted creatures, quadrupeds in profile, with interwoven jaws and limbs. The other side (obscured by corrosion product) has a variation of the same motif, with the creatures transformed into zoomorphs formed of long interlacing strands. Filigree: rivet-housings covered by a combination of wires (beaded wires, a two-ply twisted wire, and three twisted wires that are ‘unfinished’ strip-twisted wires, forming herringbone pattern). Interior: thethin backing sheet of the pommel body is torn in places. Wear/marks: light wear to filigree. Apex has a slight dent. Set: probably a suite with hilt-collar pair 165 and 166.

Miniature pommel of cocked-hat form in gold with garnet cloisonné animal ornament. The enclosed base had a slot (L. 5mm W. 2mm) for the weapon tang that is torn open; the pommel body is twisted slightly with some garnets sunken. Constructed of thick sheet metal (Th. 0.6–0.8mm). A horizontal pin (missing) was housed in the pommel’s broadened width (in the semi-circular side projections); the siting is visible in the exposed interior; it would have fastened through the end of the blade tang. Cloisonné:identical geometric cellwork both sides, including stepped, split-mushroom and other curved forms; the V-shaped cell at the apex has unusually thick walling. A band of spaced rectangular garnets runs the length of the top and shoulders. Cross-hatched gold foils of ‘standard’ pattern back the flat garnets. Style II: hidden in the geometric pattern is the zoomorphic motif of two confronted creatures, quadrupeds shown in profile, with jagged jaws. Wear/marks: light wear overall; tool/blade mark and scratches visible on the base. Set: part of asuite from a seax/knife hilt with 167, 168, 169 and 225; the cap-fitting 169 bears a scratched outline of the pommel, which was set on it, as well as corresponding damage from removal.

Pommel in gold of cocked-hat form, cast with animal-heads, with incised Style II ornament, and panels of niello lines, all framed by imitation wire. Sides pinched together, one end torn and lifted (?levered); one panel [K27] found detached (now rejoined). The concave animal-snout ends indicate the pommel fitted between two bosses on its hilt-guard. A sprue scar from the casting remains at one end (on the snout), filed flat. Style II: the animal decoration repeats each side. The large head each end has a jagged maw, representing possibly a wolf or bear. Pairs of bird heads with curved beaks flank each of these, but are visible only from above. Surmounting the apex both sides is a boar head, depicted wearing a helmet, with tusks and a blunt snout (an alternative interpretation of the head, when viewed directly from the front, might be of a moustached warrior). Viewed from above the boar heads terminate the short arms of a cross formed by the thick imitation wire, with the long arms concluded by different heads with spoon-like snouts. These in turn form nasal guards to the ‘wolf’ heads. Centrally each side was incised the motif of a pair of creatures, quadrupeds in profile, with interlacing limbs and necks (the direction of interlace is different each side). Line decoration:the panels each side with line decoration were made and inserted separately. The black niello-inlaid patterns are different each side (in contrast with the symmetry of the animal decoration): one side the lines are vertical; the other side they curve at 45 degrees. Interior: hollow, with the stubs of two integral rivets each end (four in total), one cut. Wear/marks: light wear overall, but the apex has multiple scratches. Cut mark along one basal edge. Roughly incised lines were recorded on the pommel body behind the detached panel [K27], before reattachment; this was probably done to assist the grip of the solder/adhesive.

Pommel in silver of cocked-hat form with filigree interlace and cross. Constructed of silver sheet over a cast silver core. Parts of the apex, one shoulder and both ends of the sheet cap are missing; two fragments [K1826] found detached are probably from the damaged side but do not join(one is very small). Single rivet-housing each end; no rivets. Interlace/cross: one side is a central equal-armed cross; in the corresponding position on the other side are the remains of a round frame, surrounding a void that probably had contained a gem-setting. Different non-zoomorphic interlace flanks each centre. The intact shoulder has a line of three figure-of-eights. Filigree: in silver; interlace/figure-of-eights in triple-strand beaded wire on flat sheet; cross in herringbone-with-spine (formed of a pair of two-ply twisted-beaded wires with a central thinner beaded wire, worn flat); gem-setting and edges framed with two-ply twisted-beaded wire with flanking beaded wires. Interior: core underside concave. Wear/marks: moderate wear at edges and apex; but the flattening of the filigree at the top of the cross was probably caused by a tool (?tongs).

Pommel in cast silver of cocked-hat form with low relief animal and interlace ornament, gilding and niello inlay. Worn and corrosion pitted. Odd numbers of rivet-housings: two at one end (one is broken and partly missing), three at the other end; no rivets. The decoration is framed by moulded beading at the pommel edges (worn away in places). Style II: one side shows a bearded human head between detached animal legs with fronded feet. The other side has centrally two affronted zoomorphs, each with a single hind leg and a back-turned head with U-shaped jaws (the detail is very worn at the apex); in the corners are the heads of boars with characteristic tusks and blunt snouts, with a triangular punch used for the teeth. The black niello inlay, like the gilding, is now largely lost, but was used to highlight the details of the eyes, boar teeth, the hair of the head/beard, and to infill body parts. It is not certain the gilding totally covered all surfaces, and it is possible the human and animal characters were left silver, creating a bichrome finish. Interlace: the shoulders are filled with looping geometric interlace with a central niello strand (the patterns are rotated 180 degrees, relative to each other). Interior: hollow. Wear/marks: heavy wear to the apex and edges. Set: possibly a fit with sword-ring 82.

Pommel in cast silver of round-back form with an animal-headed band and incised ornament. Found in three fragments (rejoined, breaks old), small parts of both sides missing. Gilded originally (detected by XRF analysis). Style II: the apex is surmounted by a band with terminals in the form of boar heads with blunt snouts (but tuskless) and incised almond-shaped eyes. The rest of the hemispherical surface bears incised animal ornament separated by bands of herringbone pattern. One side shows two quadruped creatures affronted but separated, with heads that bite their own herringbone-filled bodies; the other side shows a mirrored pair of confronted, knotted serpents. Further identical interlaced serpents occupy oval panels on the shoulders (the patterns rotated 180 degrees). A zoomorphic cross is formed, viewed from above, by the animal-head band and shoulder panels. Interior: hollow, one cast-in rivet each end, both broken. Wear/marks: light wear.

Pommel in cast silver of round-back form with low relief gilded interlace, and one side a gold mount with filigree and cloisonné ornament. Paired rivet-housings each end; one silver rivet, upper part. Cast interlace: one side has a panel of dense triple-strand interlace. Filigree/cloisonné: the other side has a mount of gold sheet. At its centre is a simple cloisonné design, of a circular red garnet flanked by beak-shaped garnets; the flat stones are backed with cross-hatched gold foils of ‘standard’ type. It is flanked by filigree interlace formed of triple-strand beaded wire, with collared granules beneath the garnet ‘beaks’; beaded wire also edges the inner frame and cloisonné setting; a thicker two-ply twisted-beaded wire forms the outer border. The top of the pommel is inlaid with a filigree herringbone band (formed of two-ply twisted wires). Style II: it is possible the filigree interlace on the mount together with the cloisonné beaked-roundel was intended as an animal design that could be ‘read’ as a pair of creatures with interchangeable beaked heads. Interior: four bent nails, three for securing the side filigree mount and one for the top filigree band. Wear/marks: light overall, moderate to the filigree band. A triangular punch was applied haphazardly over one side and the top.

Interlace: one side is incised with a quatrefoil knot (with swastika) in a single line frame (gilded). Filigree mounts (scrollwork): the other side had an inserted semi-circular mount (L. 29mm) of gold sheet [K5] that was fixed in place by sheet tabs that extend beyond its frame. It is divided into zones by a curving band and straight element, both in triple-strand filigree. The two largest curved zones are filled by S-scrolls in beaded wire; the mount edges are framed by plain wire; the reverse has been repoussé worked to enhance the design. The shoulder has a smaller in situ mount filled with a curved band of triple-strand filigree. Interior: the reverse of the shoulder mount is visible through a void cast in the shoulder; it shows the same method of fixing with tabbed edges.

Pommel in cast silver of cocked-hat form with double sword-rings, cast interlace, and niello and glass ornament. Incomplete, assembled from fifteen fragments: nine from the sides/shoulders; three from single cylindrical rivet-housings each end; three from two sword-rings, one for each shoulder (one [K290] is almost complete). The sword-rings were cast separately, each with a single square-sectioned shank (both broken, L. 6mm); that projecting from [K290] has a fixing-hole. Cast decoration: both sides of the pommel and sword-rings have sunken gilded panels filled with double/triple-strand interlace, densely woven and regular; sunken bands of gilded herringbone decorate the rivet-housings. At the centre of the more-complete side of the pommel is a triquetra knot. Surrounding it and juxtaposed with the other interlace panels the same side are raised triangles detailed with triple silver teardrops on backgrounds of black niello. The same black inlay also originally framed the ungilded pommel edges and filled a dog-tooth edging on the rivet-housings. Gem-settings: the other side of the pommel has corresponding triangular settings, one of which retains an inset of translucent green glass; probably all were similarly furnished. Filigree: a channel runs over the top of the pommel and sword-rings, filled by remains of a thick herringbone band in silver (formed of two-ply twisted wire). On the sword-rings the channel is flanked by moulded beading. Interior: hollow, the casting is relatively thin in places. A dowel of wood (Fraxinus excelsior) survives fixed in the interior of one sword-ring [K290]; it fits into a slot in the pommel body. Wear/marks: light wear overall, moderate on the top of one sword-ring [K290]. Set: possibly a suite with hilt-collar pair 188 and hilt-guard pair 409.

Separately cast in five parts: pommel body; one cylindrical rivet-housing each end; one ‘sword-ring’ each shoulder (only a small part survives of one). The structure was held together by a large single rivet each end cast into the interior of each sword-ring; the longest surviving shank (L. 9mm) is broken/?cut level with the base of the rivet-housing. Cast decoration: zones of cast and gilded ornament in low relief decorate one side of the pommel and the sword-rings, and the top/shoulders of all; the pommel edges and parts of the ornament were left ungilded for contrast. Double/triple-strand interlace predominates, with dot-infilled quatrefoil knots on the shoulders. The ends of the complete sword-ring show masks; the centre has a scrolled triskelion in a sunken panel. Small panels of faux cellwork, niello inlaid, are at the ends of the rivet-housings. Gem-setting: on the flat apex, in a square frame of imitation twisted wire, is a flat purplish-pink garnet (fractured). It was backed by a cross-hatched silver foil of ‘standard’ type. Style II: at the centre of the pommel, on the side with cast interlace, is a triangular platform, with smaller triangles at its vertices, bearing a design in silver of three serpent-like creatures with fan tails arranged in a triquetra, on a field of black niello. The inlay also decorated the tops of the sword-rings. Filigree/cloisonné mounts: the other side was originally decorated with seven gold sheet mounts, attached by small rivets, of which three remain. The largest [K301] (H. 20mm) fills the frame of the pommel body (one end is bent); two silver pin heads remain in situ in the corners.It has a central cloisonné roundel with an outer ring of flat garnet and blue glass insets, forming cryptic crosses (on an angle); the garnets are backed by cross-hatched foils of ‘standard’ type; filling the middle is a ring of decayed colourless glass, set in a round bezel with a frame of beaded wire; central to it is a cabochon garnet (fractured) in another beaded-wire bezel. Looping interlace, in filigree triple-strand beaded wire, flanks the cloisonné roundel, together with annulets (of two beaded wires) and short strands of herringbone (of two-ply twisted wire); the sheet backing was repoussé worked between the design. Two smaller filigree mounts decorate the intact sword-ring: one is crescentic [K807] (L. 19.5mm) and one is semi-circular [K1629] (L. 10.5mm); one gold pin remains in situ with the crescentic mount, which is filled with S-scrolls of beaded wire; the semi-circular mount is filled with annulets in the same. The mount’s edges and the roundel are framed in beaded wire. Filigree herringbone bands were also inlaid in cast channels (some lifted/frayed) on the edges of the pommel and rivet-housings. Interior: a large fragment of the original wax core survives from the pommel, now loose; it bears an impression at its top from the cross-hatched foil that backed the apex garnet. The cast structure of the pommel appears thin. Wear/marks: light wear to edges, and to the top of the more complete sword-ring. Set: possibly a suite with hilt-collar pair 188 and hilt-guard pair 409.

Pommel in cast silver of cocked-hat form with double sword-rings, gilded low relief ornament, mounts with filigree, and a gem-setting. Incomplete, including missing one end and much of the other (i.e. rivet-housings), found in seventeen fragments, some twisted (possibly from removal). The ‘sword-rings’ [K149, K189, K1448], one on each shoulder, were cast separately with one large rivet each (largest L. 17mm); both are broken and bent. Cast decoration: one side has cast triple-strand interlace separated into panels and surrounding a round frame at the centre. A band of similar interlace (worn) runs over the top of the pommel and rings. Filigree mounts (scrollwork): the other side of the pommel has four mounts made of gold sheet (a fifth original mount is missing): the largest [K136] (L. 38mm) and one other [K5090] (L. 12mm) were set on the pommel body; two smaller eye-shaped mounts [K876, K1403] (L. 17–18mm) decorate the sword-rings. All have bands of S-scrolls. The large mount is framed by two-ply twisted-beaded wire; single-ply beaded wire forms the scrolls, delineates the bands and frames the other mounts. The central part of each mount was set in relief by repoussé working from the reverse. Gem-settings: centrally on the large gold mount is a cabochon rock crystal, in a plain bezel with a filigree collar (formed of a central two-ply twisted-beaded wire flanked by thinner beaded wires); the stone is set over a fixing-hole. Another gem-setting (missing its stone) was located correspondingly on the other side, as indicated by the partly surviving cast frame. Interior: one sword-ring [K189] contains remains of a pewter core and also has beeswax, possibly as a fill; beeswax was identified in the other sword-ring also [K1448], and it is likely it has a metal core too, but covered by the wax. Wear/marks: the tops of the sword-rings show heavy wear; moderate wear to the filigree (a few scrolls missing). Apex dented, possibly from a tool (?tongs).

Hilt-collar in cast silver of high form with gilded animal ornament in low relief. Probably from the lower grip. Assembled from ten fragments, missing parts and misshapen. Gilding survives only in the recesses of the decoration. Style I: one side of the collar was decorated with three panels. The remains show highly stylised animal ornament (it is possible to identify leg elements). The central panel has a beaded frame. Line/punch decoration: the other side has incised line ornament, arranged on the vertical and horizontal, interspersed with dog-tooth bands created with a triangular punch. Dog-tooth trim also runs around the top and bottom edges, and decorated at least one end (the other is worn smooth). No inlay survives in the punchwork, but possibly niello inlay filled the ornament originally. Interior (reverse): possible filing marks [K743]. Wear/marks: moderate wear. Set: pair with hilt-collar 182.

Hilt-collar in cast silver of high form with line and punch ornament, gilding and black niello inlay. Complete, including a copper-alloy liner; possibly from the lower grip; preserves exactly the oval section. Line/punch decoration: gilding survives only in the horizontal bands that run round the collar (possibly they were the only parts originally gilded). A diamond-shaped punch was used continuously within the lowermost band, giving a beaded effect. The two gilded bands above were punched on the raised portion between the parallel lines, with a small triangular tool (though much of this is worn away). A larger triangular punch was used to form the dog-tooth pattern on the four silver bands interposed with the three gilded bands. These were filled with black niello inlay (mostly now lost). Interior: cast copper-alloy liner. Wear/marks: heavy wear at the ends. Damage to top and bottom edges (?levered). Scratch one side (?recent). Set: pair with hilt-collar 185.

Remains probably of a pair of hilt-collars in cast silver of high form with gold filigree mounts. Found in ten fragments, partly rejoined, but both incomplete. Cast interlace/?Style II: oneside of each collar had a panel of trapezoidal shape, filled with fine triple-strand interlace that is densely woven, in low relief and gilded. Back-to-back animal heads with scrolled jaws probably framed the ends of both collars, in silver with niello inlay, including a non-joining fragment [K1169]. They are not typical Style II. Gem-setting: a small part of a round frame, possibly a gem-setting, remains with the cast interlace from one side of one collar. Mounts: on the other side of each collar was cast a blank frame into which corresponding trapezoidal mounts of gold sheet were fixed. Holes on the mounts align with holes on the silver collar fragments and parts of two small silver rivets remain in situ. They are different sizes, the smaller mount probably coming from the collar of the upper grip. The larger of the two has eight holes, some of which are oddly located, possibly suggesting a repair. The mounts have similar filigree ornament. Each has a central quatrefoil knot in a panel, with looping interlace in flanking panels. Also on the larger mount some wires are missing, where the additional fixing-holes were added. Filigree: interlace in triple-strand beaded wire on flat sheet; two annulets in the same wire combination are central to the interlace on one mount; herringbone bands separate the panels (of two-ply twisted wires, flanked by beaded wires); beaded wire also edges the mount. Reverses: plain. Wear/marks: light wear. Flattening to filigree on one mount, possibly from an impact/?tool. Damage to one collar end possibly also from a tool. Set: possibly a suite with pommel 76 andhilt-guard pair 409; the cast bottom edges of the collars are shaped, and probably slotted originally into the hilt-guards.

Pair of hilt-plates in gold of oval form with garnet bosses. From the upper guard. Constructed of sheet metal, with a rectangular slot cut in the centre of each plate for the weapon tang (bottom plate: L. 18mm; W. 9.5mm; top plate: L. 15mm; W. 4.5mm); the bottom plate (grip side) has a side-flange, damaged at one tip; the top plate (pommel side) is flat. Three rivet-holes each end on each plate; the holes at the tips of the top plate are covered by the garnet bosses, with corresponding flat bosses on the bottom plate; four gold rivets of six originals still fix the plates; one is cut (L. 16mm, complete examples to top of garnet bosses). A gold double-washer is in situ on the bottom plate, held in place by one rivet. Bosses: the gemmed bosses on the top plate are set with cabochon garnets, in plain bezels with filigree collars (no gold foils are visible through the garnets). The collars are different: one boss has a collar of single-strand beaded wire, like the flat bosses on the bottom plate; the other garnet boss has a collar of triple-strand beaded wire (like the bosses on hilt-plate 244). This suggests one gemmed boss may be a repair (both Diam. 6.5mm). Interior/reverses: a liner of cast copper alloy is in situ behind the bottom plate, gripped by the flange edges. Between the plates is sandwiched substantial organic fragments, probably preserved horn, the remains of the hilt-guard. Wear/marks: moderate wear to filigree collars. Marks on bottom plate around tang-slot from a hilt-collar or grip. Patination from a pommel on top plate, and possible ?tool/blade scratches associated. Set: probably a pair with hilt-plate pair 244.

Hilt-plate in gold with a fixed hilt-collar with filigree decoration. One end of the plate is torn and partly missing, and much of one side of the hilt-collar is also lost. A top plate from the lower guard (grip side). Constructed of sheet metal with one rivet-hole at the intact end surrounded by a filigree collar of beaded wire (Diam. 8mm); the other end has remains of a rivet-hole; no rivets. Filigree:the hilt-collar originally had four panels of scrollwork each side, set on flat sheet, some divided into double registers; these are filled by C-scrolls and volute scrolls formed from spiral-beaded wire; the panels are separated by vertical herringbone bands (of two-ply twisted wires); the ends are separated by thicker bands of herringbone-with-spine (formed of two-ply twisted-beaded wires and thinner beaded wires); inner borders to the panels formed of thinner spiral-beaded wires; the top and bottom edges are framed by thicker beaded wire. Reverse/interior: multiple sheet joins are visible from the attachment of the hilt-collar to the plate. Wear/marks: light wear to the filigree, and some flattening from damage. A faint incised ‘V’ layout mark on the surface of the plate between the hilt-collar and the collar of the rivet-hole.

Upper guard: three gold panels [K38, K41, K1450], two fragments of silver frame [K529, K1334] and one silver tip [K1387, K1449] are of this guard (Wt 8.70g). A large rivet-hole at the tip penetrates both plates, damaged from removal. Fixing-holes on the gold mounts align exactly with holes remaining on the cast silver fragments of frame [K529, K1334]. Each side of the guard originally had three panels: one of cast and gilded interlace, and two blank recesses for gold mounts (making space for four mounts in total). One long rectangular mount survives ([K41]: L. 31; W. 9mm; Th. 1mm) and two small mounts ([K38]: L. 13mm; W. 7mm; Th. 0.5mm). The tips may also have had cast interlace, but the one tip remaining is corrosion covered. Lower guard: over half survives (Wt 28.62g), sufficient to reconstruct the form, including on the top plate the partial outline of an oval slot (W. 13.5mm) for the passage of the tang, and on the bottom plate is a slot for the blade. Fine triangular punch marks in bands decorate both plates (largely covered by copper corrosion on the bottom plate). On one end of the top plate is a false boss with an imitation gilded filigree collar; part of a collar only remains at the other end; the bottom plate probably had likewise originally. Three panels decorated each side, corresponding with the upper guard: one of cast interlace and two blank recesses, into which a total of four further gold mounts were originally set. Two gold mounts remain [K379, K1924]. The frames of the panels on both guards are decorated with alternating bands of zigzag and leaf ornament with backgrounds of black niello inlay. One remaining small fragment could come from either guard ([K1969]: 0.23g). Cast interlace: the triple-strand interlace in low relief in the side panels and at the tips is tightly woven and all was probably gilded originally, as were the bosses of the lower guard, creating a contrast with the black and silver niello framing and silver plates. Filigree mounts: the five rectangular mounts are made of sheet gold, with two fixing-holes in each case; the head of one silver rivet remains on one mount [K379]. Each has filigree decoration, of looping interlace or quatrefoil knots, executed in triple-strand beaded wire; a single annulet in beaded wire is at the centre of one [K38]; on two mounts the motifs are separated by herringbone bands (formed of two-ply twisted wires, flanked by beaded wires); on these larger mounts, and on that with the gem-setting, the backing sheet has been repoussé worked from the front; beaded wire frames the edge of each (detached on one small mount). Gem-setting: one mount ([K379]: L. 24.5mm; W. 9mm; Th. 1mm) has at its centre a shattered red cabochon garnet; no foil is visible behind the stone; the sheet bezel is plain with a collar formed of a single strand of beaded wire. Wear/marks: light wear overall, moderate at the tip of the lower guard. Longitudinal scratches on the bottom plate of the lower guard, possibly from polishing. Set: probably a suite with pommel 76 and hilt-collar pair 188.

Mount in gold of zoomorphic form with filigree scrollwork. Possibly a grip-fitting. Originally symmetrical but missing one end/head and a corresponding fin/foot/hoof the other side (indicated by a tear in the sheet at the edge). Made of sheet metal; probably flat or slightly curved originally; five fixing-holes remain; no nails/rivets. Style II: the mount was double-headed originally. The remaining semi-naturalistic head is wolf- or horse-like with an ear, jaw/muzzle and almond-shaped eye; the sheet backing was repoussé worked (from the reverse) to set the head in low relief. Filigree: the banded ornament, details of the head and fin, and the edges of the mount are all delineated in beaded wire; the curving body of the mount is filled by four contoured bands of scrollwork, comprising S-scrolls, also of beaded wire (a few are missing). Wear/marks: moderate wear to some of the beaded wire.

Mount in gold of fish form with filigree ornament. Possibly a grip-fitting. Bent both ends. Made of sheet metal; possibly flat or slightly curved originally. Two gold nails are fixed on the reverse, one each end (L. 2.5mm–5mm); that at the tail is flattened. Style II: the fish is depicted semi-naturalistically with a hooked (kype) jaw like a male salmon/trout, four fins and a fan tail, and with a scaled body and tail. Filigree: the head and mouth, lateral line on the body and tail of the fish are defined by either double or triple-strand wire patterns (the latter is formed of a central beaded wire with flanking two-ply twisted wires); two-ply twisted wires were used for the fish-scale pattern also, and form the herringbone pattern infilling the fins; annulets of beaded wire decorate the eyeless head, and the same wire type edges the mount. Wear/marks: moderate wear. Cut mark across the middle.

Mount in gold of fish form with filigree ornament. Possibly a grip-fitting. Bent and split open at the head, at the fixing-hole. Made of sheet metal; possibly flat or flattish originally; the tail end has a metal flange added for attachment. Style II: the stylised fish has a pair of fins each side of a strip body and a fantail. The head was probably pointed originally, and it is possible the fish was intended to represent a pike. The missing nail/rivet would have formed the eye. Filigree: the lateral line of the fish, the eye/head surround and the edge of the mount are delineated in double and triple-strand pattern (formed of a thick beaded wire with thinner flanking plain wires); thin beaded and plain wires also form herringbone pattern filling the body, fins and tail. The tail is separated from the body by bands of herringbone-with-spine (formed to two-ply twisted wires and a central plain wire). Reverse: multiple overlapping seams indicate several pieces of sheet were joined to form the backing. One join at the tail is from the appended sheet flange. Wear/marks: moderate overall.

Mount in gold with a bird head each end and filigree scrollwork. Possibly a grip-fitting. Bent, but probably curved originally, and one head crumpled. Made of sheet metal with one fixing-hole each end at the back of each eye and two at the edges of the wider centre; no nails/rivets. Style II: the profiled bird heads were probably the same originally, with curved beaks, but are mirrored (they are semi-naturalistic and not typical of Style II). ?Gem-settings: the eye of each head is formed of a small round bezel; these may have held stones, but none remains. Filigree: two bands of S-scrolls decorate the central body of the mount; the scrolls are formed of beaded wire; beaded wire also frames the bands and mount edges, and forms collars to the gem-settings and some of the fixing-holes; dummy nail-heads formed by repoussé flank the fixing-holes on the edges of the mount; a medial line of triple-strand beaded wire separates the bands of scrollwork (the central beaded wire has worn flat). Reverse: plain. Wear/marks: moderate wear. The medial wire bears two small cut marks.

The head was probably cast separately and the lower jaw was formed from a piece of sheet, part missing on the reverse. The punched eyes are inlaid with black niello. Wear/marks: light wear; light scratches and dents. Set: pair with 531.

Mount in gold of a fish between birds. Torn in several places, twisted, and the head of the fish detached. Made of a double thickness of sheet metal, into which the animal ornament was incised, with further pieces of sheet added to the reverse as background between the birds and fish; four fixing-holes in total, at the eye of each bird and at the centre of each wing-coil; no nails/rivets. Style II: the fish is depicted with a fantail, four fins, a scaled body (imitating ‘honeycomb’ cloisonné cellwork), and is divided by a ‘lateral’ or ‘dorsal’ line (L. 55mm). The head (L. 13mm) is double-sided, with eyes formed by punched circles. The birds are shown crouched and in profile, with curved beaks, legs with pear-shaped hips and taloned feet, ‘feathered’ bodies, and strongly-grooved coiled wings (Diam. 20mm) and tails; each beak is defined with a deep Y-shaped groove. Either side of the tail of the fish is a small beaked creature with an angled head-surround, single leg, and a feathered tail and body. Reverse: multiple sheet joins; the ‘background’ sheet pieces have unfinished edges. Wear/marks: a deep scratch or cut mark is visible across the body of one bird.

large cross mount in gold with animal ornament and gem-settings. Found in seven parts. Arms folded, gem-settings mostly detached, and three of an original six stones remaining; the incised sheet decoration is intact. The arms were probably originally all folded one way, as it was found as a ‘parcel’ with some of the detached settings within the bent arms. Mount body formed from a double thickness of sheet metal (separated in places). ‘Unfolded’ the cross takes the Latin form with an elongated lower arm, which is slightly expanded at its midpoint, and the three short arms are also slightly flared. The oval and round bases for the gem-settings have central holes for fixing the mount to its stave backing, as well as smaller surrounding holes, which align with those on the settings; the one in situ setting at the end of one transverse arm retains the broad heads of three silver nails/rivets; two others are in mount [K657], and the stubs of several more are visible on the reverses of mounts [K659] and [K1314]; some might have been cut, but show no clear evidence. The cross outline was also influenced by zoomorphic elements, most notably the pairs of pointed animal ears at the ends of the short arms, and four bird heads with curlew-like beaks surround the centre. Style II: the arms of the cross were filled with animal ornament that was incised into the top layer of sheet, in places cutting through it. In total, fourteen creatures inhabit the arms in various interlacing arrangements. A pair of quadruped creatures on the top arm have eyeless confronted heads, with flexed and interwoven bodies, and limbs that interlace. In a small panel below is another eyeless quadruped with an almond-shaped head that bites its own body. The transecting arms hold similar versions of one motif (but not simply rotated or mirrored), showing two creatures, head-to-tail, with splayed jaws and looping limbs; one of the four is missing its forward-drooping ear. The bottom arm has a procession of seven creatures with S-shaped bodies; they again mostly have forward-facing ears and bite back on themselves with U-shaped jaws; the creature at the narrow end of the line has an almond-shaped head. Eye and ‘fur’ detail, for birds and beasts, was added by punching. Gem-settings: the large oval setting [K656] (L. 49mm; W. 40mm) fitted at the centre; the larger of the two round settings [K657] (Diam. 30mm) fitted the end of the top arm, and the other [K658] (L. 26mm; W. 25mm) was mounted on the transverse arm opposite the one in situ; loose garnet [K308] (Diam. 20mm; H. 6.5mm) is the right size to have come from the in situ setting, though its distortion prevents absolute certainty; mount [K659] (L. 25.5mm; W. 23mm; H. 7.5mm) from the mid-point of the lower arm retains its stone, a flat-topped cabochon garnet, drilled with two concentric circles; damage to one edge has been repaired with a gold collar, but scientific analysis (PIXE) has suggested the replacement chip of garnet is a different stone. The attachment points on the D-shaped garnet mount [K1314] (L. 21mm; W. 15mm; H. 6.5mm) align well with those at the base of the lower arm, but the setting with its plain bezel is different from all the others, which have dog-tooth bezels. The loose cabochon garnet [K308] is concave on its underside (i.e. forming a plano-concave lens). A cross-hatched gold foil is set behind the garnet of mount [K1314]; it is a ‘boxed 4×4’ type (but with one misplaced line resulting in one box of 4×5 squares). Filigree: the wire combinations of the settings are not all the same. Identical filigree wire bands decorate the collars of two of the detached mounts [K657–K658] and that in situ, comprising a central three-ply twisted-beaded wire flanked by thinner spiral-beaded wires. Mounts [K659] and [K1314] have a variation: the central wire is instead of two-ply twisted-beaded type with flanking beaded/spiral-beaded wires. The large central setting [K657] has a collar of herringbone-with-spine pattern, formed of a pair of three-ply twisted-beaded wires with a central plain wire and flanking beaded wires. Wear/marks: light wear. The filigree collar at the bottom edge of the D-shaped mount [K1314] has been flattened and discoloured; scientific analysis (XRF) of the discoloration identified elevated ferrous levels; possibly this is from contact with an iron fitting, or else perhaps from a blade or tool used in dismantling. Some of the fixing-holes on the reverse of the settings are torn from removal. Joins indicating the separate attachment of the sheet for the transecting arms are visible both sides of the large oval centre.

Strip-mount in gold with Latin inscriptions and gem-setting. Folded in half, the metal fractured at the bend, with a crushed gem-setting one end, missing its stone (and foil); the other end is finished with a straight edge (unfolded L. est. 168mm). The fracture in the strip shows a tarnished metal, which does not have the appearance of gold, and it might be silver, indicating a veneer of thin gold sheet over a silver bar. However, this could not be confirmed by scientific (XRF) analysis. On either side of the gem-setting were attached cast gold serpents on thin sheet backings (W. across mount 27mm); the bodies take the form of thick, imitation (spiral-beaded) filigree wire; the eyes are punched. Three fixing-holes were spaced the length of the strip; that at the centre of the gem-setting has an in situ gold nail/rivet (L. 10mm) with a rectangular sheet washer. A further two gold rivets secure the corners of the gem-setting, and hold in place the gold serpents on their sheet backings. Gem-setting: D-shaped (L. 22.5mm; W. 14.5mm) with a plain sheet bezel; a join in it is visible on the interior edge. Filigree: the crushed filigree collar was formed of a two-ply twisted (?spiral-)beaded wire, set centrally, flanked each side by a spiral-beaded wire. Inscriptions: the strip is inscribed both sides, and each is terminated by a beast head with a tri-forked tongue. The inscription (Text 1) and beast head on the obverse were finished with black niello inlay that stands slightly proud of the surface; on the reverse it (Text 2) is crossed out in places and is without inlay, and so may have been a first unsatisfactory attempt; the inscriptions also contain important palaeographical differences (Prof. R. Gameson); Text 1: (top line) surge . dne . disepentur inimici tui et (bottom line) fugent qui oderuntteafacie tua; Text 2: (top line) surge d[omi]ne disepintur [i]nimictiui et fugiu[n]* quio de (bottom line) runete afac-ie tua a diuve nos d[eu]s. Both texts are versions of Numbers 10, 35: ‘Arise, O Lord, and may your enemies be torn apart and those who hate you will flee from your face’. Wear/marks: ?light wear. On the reverse, a scratched outline mirrors the position of the gem-setting on the front.

Roundel-with-disc in gold and garnet cloisonné, with animal-ornamented panels and a glass gem-setting. Found in nine fragments. Roundel [K130] is bent, with part of its edge missing, but was convex in section originally; the triangular cloisonné panels and gold panels with incised animal ornament were made and inserted separately; all the panels are present, but some cannot be rejoined owing to damage: animal panels [K54, K467, K1324, K1510]; triangular cloisonné panel [K112] (L. 17.5mm; Th. 2mm). These parts, as well as the roundel [K130] and smaller disc [K545], were all constructed from gold sheet. The roundel has remains of four fixing-holes at the cardinal points; the stubs of three silver rivets remain. The cylindrical column [K1055] (L. 25mm; Diam. 12–13mm; Wt 20.73g) was probably made in gold sheet also but is notably heavy, and possibly it has a fill of solder, though the interior is sealed and this could not be confirmed by XRF analysis. It is slightly tapered to its end that joined the small disc, which has a rectangular peg that slots into a recess in the base of the disc; six holes surround the peg, four of which match with those on the disc (the extra holes may indicate misalignment or repair). At its other end, which fitted the centre of the larger roundel, are four fixing-holes together with a stub of metal with torn edges that protrudes from the core, and which joins with a silver washer (Diam. 18mm) found on the reverse of the roundel [K130]; four fixing-holes surround the roundel’s central hole that align with those on the washer; two silver rivets/nails with flat heads remain in situ. At the outer edge of the roundel on the reverse are two more fixing-holes; probably there were four originally arranged cardinally that fastened the whole mount to its host object (est. Diam. roundel: 67mm). Fully assembled the mount would have had a height of approximately 65mm. Gem-setting: The smaller apical disc [K545] (Diam. 26mm; H. 9mm, Th. edge 2mm) is dominated by its cabochon of millefiori glass (Diam. 14mm), in opaque white, blue and red; it was made separately in its plain bezel (it detached in conservation), with a filigree collar formed of thick and thin beaded wires; it was fitted into a recess in the top of the small disc, and was fastened by silver rivets (stubs remain), that ran through the holes in the disc and into the top of the column. Cloisonné: surrounding the cabochon setting on the apical disc is a band of geometric cellwork of stepped and square elements, concealing cryptic crosses. The composition of the larger roundel is likewise governed by cross-arrangements, formed by the juxtaposition of the rectilinear and triangular panels. Various stepped cell-forms predominate with occasional square and mushroom shapes. The flat red garnets (some cut with a slightly curved surface) are backed by cross-hatched gold foils of ‘standard’ type (some are exposed in places). Lidded gold cells were used for the centres of the triangular mounts. Four vertical, spaced bands of long and short rectilinear cloisonné decorate the column section [K1055]. Style II: a total of eight panels with animal ornament decorated the mount. At the centre of the roundel, four small panels surrounded the column (two panels were made as one [K1324]); three contain interlaced serpents and one is plain interlace ([K1510]: 13.5mm; W. 6mm; Th. 0.5mm); the designs were incised into a single thickness of sheet. Four larger panels were set between the triangular cloisonné panels on the mount in a cruciform arrangement; these also have incised animal ornament, but cut into a double thickness of sheet (a thicker front sheet, backed by thinner sheet); in places the incising has cut through the top sheet. Two of slightly greater width ([K54]: L. 17mm; W. 11mm; Th. 1mm), set in opposition, hold similar but not identical pairs of zoomorphs that bite each other’s bodies and have single hind legs only; the two smaller mounts have single quadruped creatures that bite their own bodies. Wear/marks: light wear, but multiple cells disrupted with garnets lost in places. Cut marks on the side of column [K1055]. The sheet construction of the roundel and disc has separated in places. A sheet join is visible on the reverse. Some assembly marks visible, where parts are detached: one empty panel has an ‘X’ and one an ‘I’; an ‘||\’ mark is on the reverse of triangular cloisonné mount [K112]; an ‘I’ is at the centre of one triangular mount that has lost its lidded cell; a small ‘X’ mark is at the base of column [K1055]. Mount [K467] has a dark residue on its reverse, possibly from an adhesive (not examined). When the apical disc and its gem-mount were separated, various incised marks were seen on the sheet of the disc (behind the mount), including ‘layout’ marks for the fixing-slot.

Eye-shaped mount in gold and garnet cloisonné. Damaged on one edge and slightly misshapen, with multiple cells disrupted and garnets/foils missing, and other stones sunken; probably flat originally; it is also missing its central ‘eye’ setting (a large cross-hatched gold foil remains) and the inlays from the surrounding curved sections; there is a hole off-centre and several very small punctures are visible in the gold foil. Constructed mainly from gold sheet, some thick (Th. 0.6mm), with a flange of sheet around much of the edge, below a filigree trim of two beaded wires; there is a deliberate break in the flange and trim either side of one pointed end. Exceptions are the two vertical inserts of silver plate at the corners of the inner ‘eye’, which separated the curved inlays. Two fixing-holes in the central part retain silver nails/rivets (one behind the central ‘eye’); one has a flat rectangular head (W. 5mm); the torn hole off-centre may be a third. Two further fixing-holes are punched through the sheet edge-flange. Cloisonné: bands of garnet cloisonné surround the ‘eye’, forming lozenges where they cross each end. The cell shapes include mushroom, square and various stepped forms, with several cross patterns hidden in the geometric arrangement; each cell was backed by a cross-hatched gold foil of ‘standard’ type (exposed where garnets are missing); some copper corrosion is seen in empty cells. The large gold foil in the central ‘eye’ is a different ‘boxed 3×3’ type, and the cell might have held an inlay of translucent glass. The inlays in the surrounding curved sections (without foils) were perhaps of contrasting polished bone, but none survives. Backing pastes behind the gold foils have been identified as a wax-glue mix. Wear/marks: light wear. On the reverse there is a neat scored line one side, possibly a manufacture or ‘assembly’ mark. Other possible blade scratches may be from removal, and one at least of the nail/rivets was possibly cut. Flattening of the filigree trim and cellwork at the damaged, turned edge is possibly from an impact. Set: pair with mount 543, a suite with mounts 544–547.

Slightly misshapen, probably flat originally; some garnets and backing foils missing, and many stones sunken; it is also missing its central ‘eye’ setting (a large cross-hatched gold foil remains) and the inlays from the surrounding curved sections. Constructed mainly from gold sheet, some thick, with a flange of sheet around much of the edge (with part of a fixing-hole), below a filigree trim of two beaded wires; there is a deliberate break in the flange and trim either side of one pointed end. There is evidence for six fixing-holes in the central part (visible on the reverse): one at the edge of the ‘eye’ retains part of a silver nail/rivet with a flat square head (W. 2.5mm). The nail/rivet rests against a small silver wall piece, one of two that originally divided the curving sections framing the central ‘eye’ (see 542). Cloisonné: bands of garnet cloisonné surround the ‘eye’, forming lozenges where they cross each end.

Strip-mount in gold and garnet cloisonné with filigree serpent mounts. Four parts, found separately (one small filigree mount is missing); the join between the two main parts of the strip is damaged, but it does not appear it was soldered. Both parts of the strip-mount [K445, K1062] are misshapen, but were probably flat or slightly curved originally. Some stones are damaged and many are sunken, but none has been lost. One filigree mount [K1948] was found associated with part [K1062] and might have been in situ with its paste filler (see below), as it is of the correct size (L. 25mm; W. 8mm; Th. 1mm); however, the recess with the paste on part [K1062] is too distorted to receive it; a further mount [K69] is possibly also from this strip-mount, as it is of similar proportions (L. 23.5mm; W. 9mm) and bears an identical serpent design. The strip-mount is constructed from sheet metal, thick at the edges, with a total of three fixing-holes on the reverse; one hole is torn open; the flat, round head and stub of one silver nail/rivet remains in one. A trim formed of a single length of beaded wire runs along each long side.As originally assembled (L. est. 180mm), the strip-mount would have comprised four rectangular sections of cloisonné ornament, spaced by the three filigree mounts; the central filigree mount spanned the unsoldered join; the paste surviving inside one recess is a wax-calcite mix; it probably served as an adhesive for the filigree mounts and set them level with the cloisonné, as they show no other means of attachment Cloisonné: the geometric pattern is the same in each of the sections, comprising centrally a quatrefoil of mushroom-shaped cells, off which other stepped and mushroom forms spring. The garnets are backed by cross-hatched gold foils of ‘standard’ type (exposed in places by missing stones). Style II: both rectangular filigree mounts bear the same design of an interlaced serpent; in each case the interlace is formed wholly by the interwoven length of the creature (cf. mount 557). Filigree: the serpent bodies are formed of beaded wires in triple-strand pattern; beaded wire also edges both mounts; the heads and the tips of the tails were carved in gold, the heads with incised mouths and ribbed necks. Wear/marks: light wear to all components. The reverse of each cloisonné part has three lines: ‘III’. Set: pair with mount 557, possibly a suite with 558–561.

Strip-mount in gold and garnet cloisonné with filigree serpent mounts. Five parts, found separately; the join between the two main parts of the strip was not soldered. One part [K716] is dented with the cloisonné of one panel damaged (at the end of the mount), with several stones missing and its edge wire partly detached; the other mount [K662] is folded across one of its empty recesses; other stones are sunken. One part of the strip-mount is curved [K716], the other was probably flat or slightly curved originally. They are constructed from sheet metal, thick at the edges, with a total of four fixing-holes, two on each part; parts of three silver nails/rivets remain, with flat round heads; that with the longest shank (L. 5mm) was possibly cut. A trim formed of a single length of beaded wire runs along each long side.As originally assembled, the strip-mount would have comprised four rectangular sections of cloisonné ornament, spaced by the three filigree serpent mounts; one filigree mount [K556] (L. 23.5mm; W. 9mm; Th. 1mm)fits neatly in the recess spanning the unsoldered join in the strip. Two others [K158, K1402] have identical designs and proportions; one is now bent [K158]. The mounts show no means of attachment and probably were held in place with adhesive paste (cf. mount 556). Cloisonné:the geometric pattern is the same in each of the sections, comprising centrally a quatrefoil of mushroom-shaped cells, off which other stepped and mushroom forms spring. The garnets are backed by cross-hatched gold foils of ‘standard’ type (exposed one end by missing stones). Style II: each filigree mount shows the same design of a serpent, the flexed body of which is interwoven with a band of interlace (cf. mount 556). Filigree: each serpent body is formed of beaded wires in triple-strand pattern; beaded wire also edges the sheet mounts; the heads and the tips of the tails were carved in gold, the heads with incised mouths and ribbed necks. Wear/marks: light wear, including slight flattening to the filigree edging and two serpent mounts. There is an ‘X’ incised on the reverse of one cloisonné strip-mount [K662] and an overlapping ‘XX’ incised on the other [K716]. Set: pair with mount 556, possibly a suite with 558–561.

Strip-mount in gold and garnet cloisonné with filigree serpent mounts. Found in eleven parts. The cloisonné strip was manufactured in two sections [K275, K513] that abut (L. original est. 225mm), though they were not soldered or otherwise fixed; one filigree mount [K169] was set in the recess at their junction. Twisted at removal, the cellwork is disrupted in places with garnets and gold backing foils missing. Constructed of sheet metal with multiple fixing-holes at the ends and on the length; some of the hole edges are ragged indicating the strip was torn from its fixings. The long edges are trimmed with single lengths of filigree beaded wire, and with sheet flanges. Assembled it originally had a curved form and was set on a flat or flattish object. A total of thirteen rectangular or curved slots held the filigree mounts decorated mainly with serpents, twelve survive (rectangular L. 18–21mm; W. 6.5–7.7mm/curved L. 20.5–21mm; W. 5.5–6mm; Th. 1mm): three were in situ; nine others [K89, K154, K169, K312, K797, K1741–K1742, K5008] were found separately and have been reallocated to their positions on the basis of their fit and the ‘assembly’ marks on the reverses of some (not all are assigned with absolute certainty; in some cases the fit is poor due to distortion). In most cases the recesses for them were cut out, and possibly these sheet cut-outs were used as the backings for some of the small mounts. Style II: most have a design of an interlaced serpent, the body of the creature forming the interwoven pattern. Mainly the heads are carved in gold, without eyes, but with incised mouths and ribbed necks. Two (one in situ; [K154]) may be replacements as they have serpents with different head-forms. The smallest curved mount [K1439] from one end has a non-zoomorphic interlace pattern. The in situ mounts and the curved mounts that only fit in their original slots show that all the serpents ran in one direction. Filigree: the bodies of the serpents, the interlace, and the heads of the two ‘replacements’ are formed of beaded wires in triple-strand pattern (on the in situ ‘replacement’ mount the thinner wires are spiral-beaded); beaded wire was also used to edge the small mounts (on mount [K89] this was trimmed, to adjust the fit); the in situ ‘replacement’ has a serpent head with an eye formed from a large gold granule (with a collar of spiral-beaded wire); the other [K154] has a U-shaped head, as well as ‘layout’ marks beneath its filigree. Cloisonné: the same geometric pattern repeats on the long edges of the frame for most of the length, and was adapted for the short sections, showing a line of ovals flanked by repetitions of stepped forms; the design changes to a purely stepped pattern in the bottom section of the mount. Each flat red garnet was backed by a cross-hatched gold foil of ‘standard’ type. Wear/marks: light wear. The beaded-wire edge of one mount [K1741] has been cut (possibly at removal). An ‘X’ mark is incised at the top of part [K275]. The filigree mounts from the upper section of the strip-mount have a series of different ‘X’ marks on their reverses, probably as an aide to assembly. Set: pair with 559, suite with 560–561;possibly a suite with 556–557.

Strip-mount in gold and garnet cloisonné with filigree serpent mounts. Found in twelve parts. The cloisonné strip was manufactured in two sections [K131, K371] that abut (original L. est. 225mm), though were not soldered or otherwise fixed; one filigree mount [K5066] was set in the recess at their junction. They were twisted at removal, with a break on one edge, and the cellwork disrupted in places with some garnets and gold backing foils missing. Constructed of sheet metal with multiple fixing-holes at the ends and on the length; some of the hole edges are ragged indicating the strip was torn from its fixings; two silver nail/rivet heads remain [K131]. The long edges are trimmed with single lengths of filigree beaded wire, and with sheet flanges. Assembled it originally had a curved form and was set on a flat or flattish object. A total of thirteen rectangular and curved slots held the mounts decorated mainly with serpents, twelve survive (rectangular L. 18–21mm; W. 5.5–7.5mm/curved L. 20–25mm; Th. 1mm): two in situ (one missing); ten others [K67, K109, K438, K789, K847, K885, K1317, K1456, K1544, K5066] were found separately and have been reallocated to their positions on the basis of their fit and the ‘assembly’ marks on the reverses of some (not all are assigned with absolute certainty; in some cases distortion prevents a fit). Style II: most of small mounts show an interlaced serpent, with the body forming the pattern, but on two mounts [K67, K1456] the design is subtly different, showing a flexed serpent interwoven with a separate knot. Mainly they have heads carved in gold, without eyes, but with incised mouths and ribbed necks. One is missing its head [K789]. Another [K438] may be a replacement as it has a serpent with a different head form. The smallest curved mount [K109] from one end has a non-zoomorphic interlace pattern. The in situ mounts and the curved mounts that only fit in their original slots show that all the serpents ran in one direction. Filigree: the bodies of the serpents (with the head of [K438]) and interlace are formed of beaded wires in triple-strand pattern; beaded wire was also used to edge the small mounts (on mount [K1317] this was trimmed, to adjust the fit). Cloisonné: the same geometric pattern repeats on the long edges of the frame for most of the length, and was adapted for the short sections, based on a line of ovals and stepped forms; it changes to a purely stepped pattern in the lower portion of the bottom section of the mount. Each flat red garnet was backed by a cross-hatched gold foil of ‘standard’ type. Wear/marks: light wear. The edge-flange and beaded wire has been cut in one place on the edge of the strip-mount [K371]. Both parts have ‘X’ marks incised on them. The filigree mounts from the upper section of the strip-mount have a series of different line and curved marks on their reverses, probably to aide assembly. Set: pair with 558, suite with 560–561; possibly a suite with 556–557.

Rectangular mount in gold and garnet cloisonné with filigree serpent mounts. Slightly misshapen from flat; both ends show damage; the sheet edge from one end is missing, revealing the manufacture in section view; a few garnets are sunken. Constructed of sheet metal, thick at the edges of the cloisonné; flanges of thin sheet metal extended along the basal edge of each long side originally, together with filigree trims of thick beaded wire. The reverse has four fixing-holes; the hole edges protrude outwards, indicating the mount was torn from its fixings; no nails/rivets remain. The cloisonné forms a frame to the two recesses with the filigree mounts decorated with Style II serpents. Style II: the body of each serpent forms interlace and they have carved eyeless heads with incised mouths and ribbed necks; one head has been truncated to fit it into the available space. Filigree: the body of each is formed from beaded wires in triple-strand pattern on a flat gold sheet backing; the edges are framed by beaded wire also. Cloisonné: the bands of cloisonné, forming an ‘H’ arrangement, show the same geometric pattern using oval and stepped forms. The flat red garnets are backed by gold foils with cross-hatched patterns of ‘standard’ type. Wear/marks: light wear, including some flattening of the beaded wires. Cut marks around the frame of filigree mount. Part of the edge-flange and filigree wire has been cut away one side, along with part of the sheet reverse. Set: pair with 561, suite with 558–559;possibly a suite with 556–557.

Found in thirty-two fragments, with multiple small parts missing; bent and broken along its length, but originally of a long, tapered form with a fantail, and with a slight curvature to the width; the other, narrow end (curled over) finishes in a notched butt-end. Formed out of thick silver plate. Holes are spaced regularly every c. 11mm along both edges (with extra holes at the butt-end); fifteen silver rivets with gilded, domed heads remain in situ; the shank of each is bent over, and they together suggest a thickness of c. 3–5mm for the object to which the mount was attached. Niello: the mount is decorated with a geometric pattern inlaid with black niello (much is lost), imitating cloisonné ornament. Central is a line of mushroom shapes, of decreasing size, with flanking stepped forms, and edged with chevron banding. The ornament is contained by the wide gilded borders (W. 5mm). Wear/marks: ?light wear. The tail edge was possibly levered, with cut-marks on the underside, and there are also potential blade scratches on the reverse (probably from removal). Set: suite with mounts 567–568, 570–571.

Fragments possibly from a single strip-mount in silver with pointed ends, geometric niello inlay, and a gilded edge. Found in twenty-seven fragments and incomplete, with extensive loss of the inlay. The mount was formed from several parts made out of silver plate and riveted together: one long strip in fragments (original L. est. >160mm); one turning section [K747, K1192] (L. 38mm); and two pointed ends, [K64] (L. 49mm) and [K1168]. The turning section was perhaps one of two originally. The main body of the strip was probably set on a flat or slightly curved surface (though the largest section [K592] is severely bent), and one of the pointed ends has a pronounced curve that is original. Turning section [K747, K1192] fits to [K64], the fixing-holes aligning. Fixing-holes are spaced regularly every 11–13mm along the gilded edge, with occasional additional holes (every c. 20mm) along the ungilded edge; parts of twelve silver rivets remain in situ, some with gilded, domed heads; the shanks of many are bent over; one rivet (L. 4.5mm) has a hammered and expanded end [K1599]; they together suggest a thickness of c. 3mm for the material to which the mount was attached. A fragment of silver backing sheet remains with one rivet detached from part [K64] and other backing sheet remains in situ on [K592] (with the mount, this would have sandwiched the material the object was fitted to). Niello: the mount is decorated with a geometric pattern of interlocking triangles inlaid with black niello. Wear/marks: ?light wear. Several fixing-holes have been torn or expanded by forced removal. Cut mark on [K1168]. Set: suite with mounts 567–570.

Pyramid-fitting in gold with garnet and glass cloisonné. Slightly twisted, a small number of fractured or sunken garnets. Body and cellwork constructed of sheet metal, with an attachment bar on the reverse. Cloisonné: the geometric design on each of the four sides is the same. A central inverted triangular frame partitions the cellwork: the resulting spaces are filled with stepped forms, together with a single mushroom form, and three triangular settings of opaque blue glass. A single flat square garnet is set at the apex. The garnets at the edges are shaped to fit and those at the corners of the apex were cut in three planes; all are a slightly different purple-red colour, to contrast with the orange-red flat stones. All the garnets are backed by gold cross-hatched foils of ‘standard’ type. Interior/reverse: hollow. The upper surface of the attachment bar is rounded. Wear/marks: light wear. Set: pair with fitting 573.

Pyramid-fitting in gold with garnet and glass cloisonné. Complete, a few garnets fractured or sunken. Constructed of sheet metal with a round, possibly cast base. Style II: the sides have alternate animal designs. Two sides show a serpent with small round eyes and an interlaced body. The other design can be read either as a helmeted head or as two confronted zoomorphs with eyes and ‘tails’ that cross at the peak of the helmet. The small circular cells for the eyes might have held tiny glass inlays (cf. 167–168, 511–512, 514–515). The cellwork forming these designs has remains of an unidentified decayed inlay, in contrast with the surrounding garnet inlays. Cloisonné: the garnets at the edges are cut with faceted surfaces, including unusual bifid forms; they are a purple-red colour, to contrast with the flat orange-red garnets that form a border around the base; these are also rare semi-circular and triangular forms. All the garnets are backed by cross-hatched gold foils of ‘standard’ type.

Pyramid-fitting in cast silver with gold mounts, with filigree and garnet cloisonné. Complete, except for one broken tear-drop garnet and one lost garnet at the apex. The cast edging imitates beaded wire (but there is no evidence the silver body of the mount was gilded). Each side has a gold trapezoidal mount of flat gold sheet, fixed by three silver rivets, the heads gilded. Cloisonné: the apex is decorated with a shallow rectangular frame divided into triangular cells, filled with flat red garnets, with a ‘X’ shape formed by the cellwork. At the centre of each mount is a triform arrangement of tear-drop cabochon garnets, in plain bezels with filigree collars. All the stones, including at the apex, are backed by cross-hatched gold foils of ‘standard’ type (exposed where stones are missing/broken). Filigree: between the arms of the garnet triforms are neat conical spirals of beaded wire, three on each mount; scrollwork fills the remaining space on each mount, S-scrolls predominating, formed again of beaded wire; the same wire type forms an inner frame to each mount and frames the bezels of the triform gem-settings; the outer edge of each mount is framed by thicker, two-ply twisted-beaded wire. Interior: hollow except for the solid bar with a rounded interior edge for attachment (Th. 3.5mm); the stubs of the rivets fixing the mounts are visible. Wear/marks: light wear.

Buckle in silver with filigree decoration. Loop [K959] and tongue [K957] cast separately (and found separately); the tongue has a broken oval ‘tongue-shield’; the hinge of the tongue was soldered to the underside of the shield. The tongue-shield (W. 11mm; Th. 2mm) probably once had an inlay. Found with the loop were remains of a back-plate of silver sheet, most likely of rectangular form originally. It is decorated one side with a framework of triangular punchwork, and the same punch was used to edge the flat underside of the loop. Filigree: the buckle-loop has a band of recessed gold filigree, of herringbone pattern (formed of two-ply twisted wires); the edge of the tongue-shield has a frame of silver beaded wire; Wear/marks: light wear. The gold filigree on the loop has been flattened by the end of the tongue.

Cross pendant in gold with a central garnet and filigree decoration. One arm detached and one arm bent. Takes the cross pattée form, with a round centre (Diam. 17mm) and flaring arms with concave ends (W. 12–14mm). Loop for suspension on the top arm. Constructed of sheet metal; the broken arm shows a hollow structure. A CT scan has shown the cabochon garnet is plano-concave and that behind the stone is a void; no gold foil was set behind the garnet. Possibly the void was for a relic, but Keyence digital-microscope examination looking through the stone showed no surviving trace of any object behind it (except fine remains possibly of mould). Gem-setting: the large flat-topped garnet is set in a plain bezel with a filigree collar. Filigree: the arms are filled with scrollwork, mainly volute scrolls, and occasional annulets, all in beaded wire; there is some variation in the patterns; the loop is decorated with two bands of S-scrolls and terminates on the reverse in a triangular projection also with scrolls; the gem-setting is framed by a pair of beaded wires with a thinner plain wire between; the reverse wire combination (of a beaded wire flanked by plain wires) forms triple-strand on the loop, dividing the bands of scrolls; further thick and thin beaded wires frame the edges of the arms and loop. Wear/marks: light wear. The filigree on the reverse of the loop has been flattened in places or possibly cut. The loop is slightly squashed.

Helmet-crest channel cast in silver and gilded, with animal ornament and animal-head terminal. Originally two parts, and the tang of the head broken (rejoined; [K47]); the curved channel [K546] is bent and fractured in several places (L. 102.5mm). The channel is slightly wider and its side-walls taller at one end than the other (H. 6.5–9.5mm; W. 10.5–12mm; Th. 1.5mm); ten unevenly spaced fixing-holes, some in pairs, run the length of the base. The basal edge of the channel at the wider end has been filed to a bevel, and the sides are slightly angled. The elongated animal-head [K678] was cast in relief with incised almond-shaped eyes and strap-work resembling a head-bridle; hollow on the reverse; butt-end with broken tang and two fixing-holes (L. 56mm; W. 8.5mm; H. 8mm; Wt 14.88g). The tang slots neatly into the narrower end of the channel and the fixing-holes align with those at the end of the channel. A complete silver nail pierces the animal-head with a bent shank, and parts of four other silver nails/rivets remain in situ in the channel, but with flat heads, and with shanks cut. Overlying the nails/rivets and filling much of the length of the channel are remains of a calcite-wax paste (D. 4mm) with small associated fragments of wood. Style II: both side-walls of the channel have animal ornament in low relief, each a different design, concealing a total of twelve creatures (the schemes are the same as on 590, but they are mirrored and vary in small details). One side has a continuous regular interlace pattern formed by the interwoven bodies of four serpents; the other side has eight creatures, with at the wider end a pair of quadrupeds with entwined limbs, and the remaining two-thirds contains three pairs of interlaced serpents with different head forms. Punches were used to add small circular eyes. Other dot, circular and notch punches were used to decorate the large animal-head terminal. Wear/marks: light wear; gilding is missing on the snout-end of the animal-head, possibly from wear. Filing marks on the channel reverse. Possible cut marks around one fixing-hole one end that contains the shank of a cut nail/rivet, and further probable cut marks along one edge (all tarnished). Flattening of the decoration one side from an impact. Set: pair with crest section 590, probably a suite with cheek-pieces 591–592.

Helmet-crest channel cast in silver and gilded, with animal ornament and animal-head terminal. Originally two parts, found in twenty-five fragments, but largely complete as rejoined and preserving the original curvature; the curved channel (L. 142.5mm) was torn open at one end, but the majority of the fragmentation is probably post-depositional (the breaks are tarnished but largely unworn). The channel is slightly wider and its side-walls taller at one end than the other (H. 7.5–9mm; W. 11–12mm; Th. 1.5mm); nine spaced fixing-holes (some in pairs, the order similar to 589) run the length of the base. The base edge of the channel at the wider end has been filed to a bevel, and the sides are slightly angled. The elongated animal-head, found in two pieces [K363, K397], was cast in relief with bug-like oval eyes and strap-work resembling a head-bridle; hollow on the reverse; tang at the butt-end (L. 56mm; W. 10mm; H. 8mm; Wt 14.58g). The tang slots neatly into the narrower end of the channel (corrosion patinas on the tang and channel match, confirming the association). Two silver nail/rivet heads remain with the two fixing-holes on the tang, and parts of two other silver nails/rivets of the same type remain from the channel. Also contained in the largest section of channel [K1012] were remnants of a wax paste. Style II: the two side-walls of the channel have animal ornament in low relief, a different design each side, concealing a total of twelve creatures. One side has a continuous regular interlace pattern formed by the interwoven bodies of four serpents. The other side has eight creatures: the wider end probably showed a pair of quadrupeds but part of the design is missing (cf. 589); the remaining two-thirds contains three pairs of interlaced serpents with different head forms. Punches were used to add small circular eyes. Other circular, dot, triangular and semi-circular punches were used to decorate the large animal-head terminal. Wear/marks: light wear. Filing marks on the channel reverse and on the animal-head reverse. Interior of the channel has incised lines, perhaps to aid the adhesion of the paste filler. Possible cut mark on the animal-head terminal, at its end, where it joined the channel. Set: pair with crest section 589, probably a suite with cheek-pieces 591–592.

Helmet cheek-piece cast in silver and gilded, with animal ornament and a gold collar. Originally two parts, but tabs broken off and found separately [K740, K1509]; the original form is preserved with a curved surface and back edge, and a front edge at 90 degrees. The cheek-piece [K453] and tabs were originally cast as one, with a D-shaped slot cut in each tab. The gold collar of thick beaded wire [K288] was made separately to slot over the tabs (L. 83mm; Diam. wire 3mm), the wire on a base of thick gold sheet; the beading is slightly flattened in places from contact and the cheek-piece has corresponding indentations. The whole side of the cheek-piece is covered by Style II animal ornament in low relief, separated into four zones; these are defined by thin silver zigzag bands formed by neat lines of triangular punchwork infilled with black niello. The front edge also has animal ornament in a zigzag frame. Style II: the smallest zone at the top corner holds a single hybrid creature, with the body of a quadruped but the head of a bird, indicated by a curved beak. The head has an angled surround that is actually a serpent, and the hind leg has a curled toe that also transforms into a serpent. The adjacent band and the last band show processions of animals that are essentially the same species of quadruped with S-shaped bodies and again serpent head-surrounds, and also incorporated into the designs are interlaced Stafford knots. The third band from the front-edge holds a parade of different interlaced creatures, zoomorphs with ribbon bodies and hind legs only. The separate narrow triangular panel on the front-edge holds a pair of interlaced serpents. In all, sixteen creatures and ten serpents (including on head-surrounds) decorate the cheek-piece. Reverse: gilded and plain except for tarnish marks. Wear/marks: light wear. A small ‘X’ is incised on the reverse of the gold collar [K288], with filing marks. Copper corrosion covers a small patch of side, probably from the silver alloy. A small number of scratches/abrasions are possibly recent. Set: pair with 592, probably a suite with cheek-pieces 589–590.

Helmet-band in silver-gilt, inset with a silver-gilt sheet band, showing a continuous procession of kneeling or running warriors. Originally three components, assembled from 112 fragments. The silver band (thirty-seven fragments) was made of two rigid and curved pieces that formed a tray to the decorated sheet band with rounded edges: [K51, K96, K234–K235, K243, K250, K255, K523, K794, K834, K970, K1541, K1561, K1577, K1608, K1627, K1634, K1650, K1676, K1692, K1734, K1778, K2000, K2031, K2098, K2135, K2137]. Two fragments of sheet were found in situ in the tray with remains of a wax-glue backing paste that was a foundation to the band (impressions remain of the backs of the die-impressed decoration); now shrunken, this paste possibly had raised the band up flush with the tray edge, and it was probably also an adhesive, though there is also a line of small fixing-holes; no nails/rivets. Larger square holes in the tray were probably the means of attachment to the cap of the helmet. The in situ fragments, fixing-holes, and joins with other fragments, help to locate the remains of the sheet band within the tray, though the placement of many other pieces remains speculative. The largest rejoined sheet section (L. 120mm; W. 15mm) fits in the largest surviving tray section. In all, it is estimated half of the sheet band remains (in seventy-five fragments): [K48, K228, K237, K794, K1031, K1432, K1437, K1515, K1529, K1551, K1556, K1562, K1574, K1627, K1643, K1801, K2131, K2132, K2133, K2134]. The tray and sheet together suggest an original length of c. 480–500mm. A die (c. L. 55mm; W. 15mm) with five warrior figures framed by a beaded border was used to impress the pattern, perhaps a total of nine times. Only one fragment [K48] has a cut edge surviving, which may come from the front of the sheet band; so possibly one continuous piece of long sheet was used, though it is also possible the band was formed of sections. The warrior figures are almost identical, and each carries a spear and shield, except that the lead warrior holds his spear at a slight angle. They appear either to be kneeling or running. All are naked except for a pelleted belt, from which a knife or sword is suspended. Wear/marks: ?light wear. Numerous cut marks on the edge of the silver tray suggest the levering of the decorated band.

Sheet band in silver-gilt showing a continuous procession of creatures. Assembled from 118 fragments. Original length estimated at a minimum of c. 550mm; possibly a single length of sheet was used, as only one section with a cut straight edge was identified, placed at the front. A single fixing-hole is present, but other torn holes might indicate others. A die (c. L. 70mm; W. 20mm) of five creatures with beaded top and bottom borders was used to impress the pattern, possibly a total of eight times; a margin of sheet was left above and below the beaded borders of the design; the quality of the imprint varies slightly along the length. Style II: the creatures in the procession are essentially the same and move to the left, but with heads reversed; only slight differences between them indicate the repetition of the five-creature cycle. They are quadrupeds, depicted in profile and rearing, each with a hind leg, with a pear-shaped hip and wedge-shaped foot. The shoulder of the front leg is easily discernible, but the limb is reduced to a line that wraps the body of the creature in front (it is either footless, or the foot is ‘behind’ the body of the lead creature in each case). The bodies are filled with hatched lines. Each head has a single eye and gaping jaws. The beast at the front cut edge was truncated, indicating the length was trimmed after manufacture. Wear/marks: ?light wear.

Sheet panel in silver-gilt showing a mounted warrior. Assembled from twenty-two fragments. Originally rectangular, though possibly tapered and narrower at the top. The design was impressed on the reverse with a die (c. W. 60mm; H. 55mm) and enough survives to understand generally the image. It shows a horse at the gallop and in harness, but the head of the animal is missing. Much of the rider is lost also, but he was helmeted and in a tunic, with a spear overarm and a shield at the waist. A second figure and possibly a third survives from the original scene. Naked at the front of the horse is an assailant who holds one of the creature’s front legs, stabbing a knife at its flank with the other hand. Less certain (but paralleled on related designs) is the association of the fragment placed at the back of the horse bearing a small figure, who is also naked except for a belt and has outstretched arms. A further detail is the ‘sun’ disc, infilled with a ring of dots, between the helmeted head of the warrior and the back of the horse’s head. Wear/marks: ?light wear.

Sheet panels in silver-gilt showing three warriors marching right. Originally eighty-two fragments, from a minimum of six identical panels, most less than half surviving. A rectangular die (W. c. 55mm; H. 50mm) was used to impress the pattern on the reverse of each panel of silver sheet. Several were cut, in two cases truncating the design, although it is not always clear if this relates to manufacture or removal. There are only a few fixing-holes, but their general absence probably results from the lack of beaded edging that could be certainly associated; many fragments with this type of border remain unattributed (606), as it was common to multiple panels and bands (593–595, 597–598, 600, 602). The fragments overall allow almost the entire design to be reconstructed. The design shows the warriors parading to the right with spears held point-down on the side facing the viewer; the other arm holds a shield at shoulder height; and a scabbarded weapon is worn at the left waist (the side hidden). The central warrior wears a knee-length tunic, belted at the waist, with a ‘textile’ pattern; the figures either side wear belted hauberks, with a dotted texture. All look skyward as they march, and they wear helmets with cheek-pieces and bird-headed crests; the beaks are curved like raptors and the helmet caps are filled with herringbone pattern. They appear shoeless. Wear/marks: ?light wear. Set: a suite with panel-band 597.

Sheet panels in silver-gilt showing three warriors marching left. Originally seventy-four fragments, from a minimum of six identical panels; only one survives to full width; one is represented by only a single fragment. A rectangular die (c. W. 51mm; H. 47mm) was used to impress the pattern on the reverse of each panel of silver sheet. One panel was cut down, possibly to fit a small trapezoidal space, but cuts to other panels may relate to removal rather than manufacture. A few fixing-holes only occur, but their general absence is probably the result of the lack of edging that could be certainly associated; many fragments with the same type of beaded border remain unattributed (606), as it was common to multiple panels and bands (593–596, 598, 600, 602). The fragments overall allow almost the entire design to be reconstructed. Three warriors are shown parading to the left with spears held point-down, carried on the side away from the viewer; on the side open to view shields are carried at waist height and scabbarded swords are worn the same side (on the left of the body), the pommels just above the rims of the shields. The first and third warriors wear knee-length tunics, belted at the waist, but with different ‘textile’ patterns. The central figure wears a belted hauberk with a dotted texture (compare with 596). All look skyward as they march, and they wear helmets with cheek-pieces and bird-headed crests; the beaks are curved like raptors and the helmet caps are filled with herringbone pattern. They appear shoeless. Wear/marks: ?light wear. Set: a suite with panel-band 596.

Sheet band in silver-gilt showing moustached heads. Assembled from nine fragments and incomplete. The pattern was impressed on the sheet from the reverse. At least six heads were depicted originally, though the band might have been longer, as two head fragments do not join. The top and bottom sheet edges extend beyond the beaded borders; there is no border to the surviving short edge, but this was cut. The heads are linked by their moustaches and they are also shown helmeted. There are very slight differences between them and probably more than four heads were depicted on the original die. A fixing-hole penetrates the cheek of one head on the large fragment. Wear/marks: ?light wear.

Fragments of a sheet panel in silver showing dancing warriors. Just three fragments remain in poor condition, two rejoined. It is possible they are from the same panel, though they could also be fragments from a pair of panels. The pattern was made by impressing the sheet from the reverse with a die. The image probably originally showed two similar warriors in tunics with ‘horned’ headdresses, holding pairs of spears. The sheet does not appear to have been gilded. Wear/marks: not possible to determine.

Fragments of a large sheet covering with silver panels of animal ornament within gilded borders. Assembled from ninety-six fragments of silver sheet, and largely incomplete, including around thirty fragments of gilded border. Possibly the large covering comes from a helmet neck-guard. It is likely multiple dies were used for the different contiguous panels, and possibly additional dies were used for the beaded and herringbone-with-spine framing that surrounds them, the patterns impressed from the reverse. Wide gilded borders separated the zones of silver animal ornament. Style II: there are remains of six panels of different shape with animal ornament, which it is proposed were probably part of a greater number in some form of symmetrical arrangement. One narrow band holds a serpent with a plaited body, the head separated. A large rectangular or trapezoidal panel, with one folded edge, has a design of at least three interlaced zoomorphs, two with interlinking jaws. The four other partially surviving panels show related zoomorphs. A V-shaped fragment of gilded border joins the large zoomorphic panel and has one curving edge with fixing-holes. Another smaller fragment of gilded border has a single hole. Wear/marks: light wear.

Sheet panel in silver-gilt with animal ornament. Found in four fragments, missing parts of both ends and the sides. The leaf-shaped form possibly indicates the silver sheet once covered a helmet nasal-guard. The decoration was die-impressed on the reverse, possibly using a single die originally intended for a different purpose, since the design was truncated along both long edges. The display side was heavily gilded. Style II: remains of four creatures that bite their own bodies; only that originally at the centre is complete. Wear/marks: light wear.

Fragments from a sheet panel in silver-gilt with animal ornament. Originally nineteen fragments, some joined, which are related in style; they are not certainly all from one panel, nor the same die pattern. The pattern(s) was impressed on the reverse of the thin sheet with a die(s), with a beaded border with a margin of sheet left around the edge. Two joined fragments taper to a broken point with a fixing-hole. Style II: the fragments include zoomorphic body, leg and foot elements, but there are no full heads. Stafford knots occur on two fragments. One fragment has an angled straight edge that may be cut. Wear/marks: light wear.

Sheet panel in silver-gilt with animal ornament. Originally nine fragments, all but one rejoined. The pattern was impressed on the reverse of the thin sheet with a die. Possibly one original straight edge remains, with parts of a plain frame. Style II: enough survives to indicate one zoomorph with a U-shaped head, with jaws that bite its own bifurcated body. A looping, front limb may be present, coming off the body. Further animal elements may be represented by the fine lines below the border at the bottom edge.

Fragments of silver sheet with herringbone ornament. Nine fragments, two joined, of ungilded border decoration. The largest piece, formed of the joined fragments, has a turning end, and five fixing-holes; the fragment of iron corroded to it is possibly not original as it does not appear to have been fastened to the silver sheet. Two other fragments have single fixing-holes, one with the head of a silver nail/rivet in situ, its shank cut; the other shows the border coming together at a point. The herringbone pattern (W. band 6mm) was die-impressed on the reverse of the thin sheet. Wear/marks: ?light wear.

Fragmentary silver sheet with animal ornament. Three ungilded fragments with torn edges and corroded; the original decoration is difficult to identify. The reverse is largely flat, indicating the design was not impressed with a die, so must have been cast or incised. Fixing-hole on one fragment [K213]. Style II: the fragments show quadruped creatures in profile, possibly forming a band of the ornament originally with S-shaped bodies infilled with herringbone pattern, and long scissor-like jaws that bite their own bodies; the pair on the largest fragment are confronted and have forelimbs that join. A twisted border runs along one edge. Wear/marks: wear not possible to discern. Set: with pommel 71 and collar fragments 189.

Small fragments of unattributed silver sheet with die-impressed ornament. Three hundred and ninety fragments, mostly small in size (L. >10mm), which could not be joined or definitely associated with decorated sheet panels and bands 593–604, although the majority almost certainly originate from them. All are thin sheet and most have gilding on one side. Many are fragments of beaded border, the type common to many of the panels and bands (593–598, 600, 602), and a number have fixing-holes (but no nails/rivets). A few are notable; one fragment [K866] shows ‘dotted’ mail with an overlaid diamond pattern, not paralleled among the warriors on the reconstructed sheets; joined fragments [K762, K1342] show a beaded border with abutting (?zoomorphic) elements; fragment [K1016] shows part of a bird-headed helmet, which does not fit with the existing marching warrior panels (596–597) and fragment [K7] shows part of a mailed figure, possibly holding two spears. These could be from panels and bands otherwise not evidenced, or be parts unrecognised from the existing corpus. One other fragment [K542] shows part of the ‘sun’ disc that occurs on the mounted warrior panel 595; it may be the only fragment remaining from a second panel struck from the same die.

Silver-gilt sheet coverings from a socketed base, trimmed with reeded strip. Two sheet-metal parts re-built from sixty-six fragments that would have fitted back to back (largest L. 115mm; W. 56mm; H. 81mm), probably around a wooden shaft (c. 36mm × 36mm) with an oval base (no organic remains survive). The base sheet is heavily misshapen (L. 110mm). The gilding is one side of the sheet only. The two small rectangular slots (L. 11mm; W. 5.5–7mm) would have aligned on the front and back of the shaft. Two bands of riveted silver-gilt reeded strip of different widths (forty-six fragments) were fitted around the top of the bracket (11mm strip) and around the base (14mm strip) to hold the two coverings in place. The narrower strip (11mm strip) has eight reeds arranged in two groups of four, divided by a channel, along which fixing-holes were spaced; the holes align with holes around the top of the bracket. The wider curved strip (14mm strip) has two channels that are separated by three bands, each of three or four reeds. No nails/rivets remain. Wear/marks: ?light wear. Around the top of the bracket is a scored line, offset 11mm from the edge, which matches the edge of the reeded strip; tarnishing around the base matches the wider reeded band. There are possible blade scratches on the reverse of the wider reeded strip; dents around fixing-holes from forced removal; an impression around the rectangular slot one side; and a possible tool mark. The crumpled base suggests lifting/?levering. Set: possibly the base to cross 539.

Two clips of silver reeded strip. Both have identical dimensions. One [K2126] is almost complete, with two silver nails in situ; it fastened a thickness of c. 4mm. Both have the same pattern, comprising two pairs of reeds either side of a channel. The more complete example is gilded; the incomplete clip [K525] was possibly left plain. Wear/marks: ?light wear.

Reeded strip in silver-gilt, 8mm wide. Found in over six-hundred fragments (min. 642–max. 674), multiple pieces rejoined, with a total surviving length estimated at c. 3100–3400mm (the longest is 93mm [K749, K1506, K1553, K1680]). There is some variation in width, 7–9mm, but the average is 8mm. The majority of the fragments are straight, but a small number are curved [K1566, K1592, K5080]. The pattern comprises eight reeds in two bands of four, separated by a central channel, along which most of the fixing-holes were drilled. The spacing of the holes on the larger fragments varies: most are 14mm–17mm, some are 9mm–13mm, and a few are closer. Several have remains of silver rivets [K245, K533, K1413, K1478, K1553, K1678, K1679], mostly with small domed and gilded heads. Only one rivet [K1553] is certainly complete (L. 15mm); two others [K1413, K1678] are bent, possibly deliberately, as a means of fastening (suggesting a thickness of 3–4mm for the material to which the strip was attached). Some ends were finished at 90 degrees [e.g. K532, K930, K1173, K1305, K1433], others at an angle of 45 degrees [e.g. K1091, K1433], with one more acute [K1680] at 20 degrees; typically these cut edges appear deliberately flattened [e.g. K50, K532, K930, K1173, K1305, K1331, K1628, K1680]. One joined fragment [K1348, K1491, K1493–K1494] is attached to a sizeable, crumpled piece of silver-gilt sheet (L. 47mm). Wear/marks: light wear (no flattening to the reeding from use). Multiple fragments are bent, curled or folded from removal.

Edging in silver-gilt with a u-section. Found in forty-three fragments, now joined into six parts; incomplete and probably not all from one object; the sections suggest a c. 4–5mm thickness to the material to which they were fitted. Total surviving length c. 800mm. One largely complete piece has angled ends at 90 degrees [K420, K515, K617, K824, K1780, K1974]; a fragment of wood (species not identified) remains in it with a corroded iron nail from the object it was originally fitted to, but it does not pierce the edging. Two sections of different length were straight except for upturned ends; the longer one [K842] is now bent, but would have been c. 170mm long. Another straight section has two broken ends. Two sections are curved, but their curvature is different, and their recesses are on different sides. That [K23, K81, K173, K418, K1332] recessed on its inside edge has fixing-holes at its middle, two each side, with a fillet of sheet inserted via a slot and held in place by two in situ silver rivets; possibly this was the chape to a sword scabbard. Wear/marks: ?light wear. A silver corrosion product covers much of one of the curved sections.

Edging in silver with a u-section. Found in twenty-five fragments, now joined with nine main parts (L. 23–83mm), but incomplete; none of the sections join, but this could be due to the damage to the ends. Formed of sheet metal, ungilded; a number of the sections preserve original curvatures; two curved pieces have finished ends, at 90 degrees. Total surviving length c. 400mm. The edging was mounted to a material of c. 4mm thickness; it is without any fixing-holes. Wear/marks: ?light wear. Scratches in the interior may be cut marks from removal.

Pair of gold bosses with filigree collars. The bosses are deep in form and made of thick metal sheet. The closed base of each is pierced by a single silver nail/rivet, off centre. One [K311] contains a calcite-wax filler. Gem-settings: it is possible the bosses once held stones, raised level with the top of each by the filler. Filigree collars decorate the plain bezels formed of thick and thin beaded wires. Wear/marks: light wear. Both bosses have a dent one side, possibly made by a tool. In each case the nail/rivet was cut level with the reverse.

Set of three small garnet bosses with filigree collars.

Remains from a silver boss with a gold boss-washer, with a filigree collar, and its pair. One silver boss [K2088] was originally whole, but it fragmented during conservation. It had covered the head of a thick silver rivet (L. 6mm; Diam. 3mm), with a broken or cut shank, which pierced the gold sheet washer. The other washer [K1535] is without its boss and rivet; a black residue on the object may be from a filler or adhesive (not analysed). The collars are formed from single strands of beaded wire. Wear/marks: moderate wear to the filigree collars.

Fragments of silver nails/rivets and washers. Sixty-one in total, found loose; all are incomplete. Most are the same form as the dominant types of small nails and rivets, with domed heads and rounded shanks; they cannot be identified with certainty as either, however, owing to their incomplete state. Some have traces of gilding on their heads. One [1723] has a larger flat head, and there are flat-head fragments [K614]. Several are fragments [K1749, K1807, K1862] of circular washers (Diam. 6.5mm). Two nails/rivets [K223, K2187] have pieces of sheet metal with fixing-holes associated. One straight, thicker shank [K1356] with a wasted end might have served a different function. One small rectangle [K1493] with two fixing-holes might be a double-washer. Wear/marks: some shanks are possibly cut.

Silver pin with ring, and the ring from its pair. Possibly remains of a pair of locking pins. The complete example was gilded originally (indicated by XRF analysis, owing to the presence of mercury and gold). The pin (L. 24mm; Th. 2.5mm) is solid cast with a loop one end and a square-section shank that is slightly tapered with a blunt tip. The wire ring (L. 22.5mm) is fastened with two coiled knots. The other ring (L. 22mm) is torn open, twisted and pitted by corrosion.

Gold strip with herringbone filigree. Rejoined from two fragments, torn apart; incomplete, one end cut. The complete end has a loop, possibly meant as a jawed head. Backing of sheet metal with four nail-holes spaced along the length, one at the loop, and with two more at the ends of the ‘jaws’; two gold nails remain (L. 5mm), including at the loop with a filigree washer. Possible part of a hilt-collar, but this is not certain given the loop/‘head’ end. Filigree: a band of herringbone (formed of two-ply twisted wires) fills the length and a narrower band decorates the loop, with beaded wires at the edges; two beaded wires form the washer for the nail at the loop. Reverse: one sheet join indicates the loop was made and attached separately. Wear/marks: moderate wear.

Silver bar with one expanded semi-circular terminal. In two pieces. Analysis of the breaks shows the object was formed of an iron bar with thin layers of wood (Fraxinus excelsior) and horn one side, wrapped front and back with coverings of silver sheet, with overlapping joins at the sides. Two further sheet joins are at each end on the front/rear of the object (depending on its original orientation). X-rays show a fixing-hole one end, now filled with corroded copper alloy, remains perhaps of a nail/rivet; the other end may be broken, but it is partly covered by ?torn silver sheet, and covering corrosion makes interpretation difficult. One possibility is that the object is the arm of a cross. Wear/marks: covered with iron corrosion in places.

Socket in silver with wood remains. Found in nine fragments. Undecorated and ungilded. The base was formed by four lobes, each probably with a fixing-hole originally (Diam. 3mm); two larger fixing-holes (Diam. 5mm) pierce opposite sides of the standing square socket (top L. 28mm; W. 24mm) that encased the wooden shaft of hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), the remains of which are substantial (L. 50mm; Wt 6.74g). The wood (now three fragments) was found still attached by mud to one fragment; it retains partly the square section of the shaft and preserves the cut basal end; a hole bored through the wood aligns with the fixing-holes on the socket. Small iron remains from the bore may be evidence of a rivet; no other fixings were in situ. Wear/marks: ?light wear. The socket has been partially cleaved at one edge, and there is also a deep scratch on one of the basal lobes.

Curved silver sheet fragment with peltaic and fish-scale ornament. Rejoined from two fragments; torn both ends and both sides. Ungilded. Peltaic scrolls form a border to the narrower long edge, the border delineated with an incised line. The fish-scale decoration runs the other side of the line. The regularity of the scrolls and scales suggests the ornament might have been produced using a punch. Possibly it is a fragment of hilt-plate. Wear/marks: ?light wear.

Silver-gilt fragments with cast interlace and scroll ornament. Twelve fragments originally, several now joined, but largely incomplete; stylistically they are related but possibly are from more than one unidentified object. Some fragments preserve parts of a plain channel or margins, but there are no fixing-holes. Probably the original object(s) was slightly curved. Cast decoration: the unusual ornament combines small zones of triple-strand interlace, with borders of ‘granules’, round framing, and scrolls that terminate foliage-like elements filled with triangular and fish-scale patterns; these last parts were left ungilded and were possibly inlaid with niello (none survives). A number of fragments repeat elements of the same design. Reverse: plain. Wear/marks: light wear. Some have bent edges from removal.

Miscellaneous small silver fragments. Twenty-four in total. Three [K639, K1193, K1286] are fragments of gilded border with fixing-holes, probably from the series of large silver niello mounts (569–571), and other silver fragments [K1292, K1533, K2169=K1363] and actual strands of niello [K1443, K1990, K2039, K2048, K2168] may have the same origin.

Small silver sheet and other fragments. Over one-thousand (1061) in total, with many added during conservation, found adhering to objects or from soil blocks. They range in size from small (c. L. <15mm) to very small (c. L. <5mm); a few have been joined (L. <35mm). The majority are thin sheet and flat; all are undecorated, except many have gilding on one side only, and some of these are probably related to silver-gilt socket 607/08. One joined piece [K1329, K1351] has a right angle edge (L. 16mm), which suggests it could be part of a helmet panel. Some have fixing-holes. A small number are thicker plate and may be fragments from hilt-plates or cast objects.

Small fragments of copper alloy. One hundred and seven in total, the majority shapeless from fragmentation and corrosion. Some [e.g. K211, K497, K709] are flat with curved edges and may be from linings for gold hilt-plates; one [K497] has a flanged edge. One fragment [K509] is probably the core from a small boss, again probably from a hilt-plate. Other small fragments could be from pommel cores. Just three have cast decoration, two are heavily corroded: one has a beaded border [K1581]; one [K1526] a cross-hatched pattern with gilding; the largest fragment [K1284] has gilded three-strand interlace and a beaded border, imitating filigree. Two undecorated triangles of sheet are a pair [K900, K1135], but are not certainly Anglo-Saxon.

Large cabochon garnet. Oval, plano-concave cut. Found loose. The stone does not fit any object in the collection. Wear/marks: chipped around the base, with fractures extending into the interior.

Small cut red garnets. Seventy-three stones found loose and mostly recovered from soil blocks (five have gold foils associated, two are detached). They take various shapes that are largely akin with the forms on the cloisonné objects in the collection, from which all probably derive. Most are flat, with a thickness of 0.4–1.6mm (sixty-three measured). The majority are stepped forms, including one arrow [K1732], five mushroom [K1435, K1709, K1735–K1736, K1760], and fifteen half-mushroom/arrow forms [K444, K579, K1298, K1398, K1512, K1578, K1580, K1587, K1710, K1731, K1737, K1758, K1759, K1762, K1766]. Other stones comprise four rectangular [K1492, K1764, K1768, K2079], seventriangular [K1307, K1614, K1682, K1722, K1739, K1798, K1962], two circular [K439, K2095], two trapezoidal [K1740, K1765], and one [K1565] unusual boat-shaped form with a slightly convex top. The last form has no parallel among the cloisonné objects of the collection.A further small number are irregular in shape and are possibly from zoomorphic designs [K1398, K1507, K1729, K1763, K1788]. Six stones are not flat but wedge shaped [K503, K1389, K1398, K1646, K1711, K1738] and these may be from hilt-plate set 366–369. A few other flattish stones were cut with slightly curved top surfaces. Three of the five gold backing foils have ‘standard’ cross-hatched patterns [K441, K1798, K1962, K2095] and two have ‘boxed 3×3’ patterns [K441, K2186].

Cross-hatched gold foil of ‘special boxed’ type. Found unassociated. The foil is large in comparison to others found loose (695), but is paralleled in size by some of the foils used on larger objects (539: mounts [K659] and [K1314]; 542–543). In its crumpled state, its original form is difficult to discern. It is decorated with a cross-hatched boxed pattern. Most of the boxes hold arrangements of 4×4 grids, but one line of boxes contains a variation of 4×5; this foil type was termed ‘special boxed’ by Avent and Leigh (1977). The same 4×5 arrangement is found on foil fragment [K1299] (695) and was used on the foil backing the garnet on boss [K1314] from the cross (539).

Gold foils with cross-hatched patterns. Thirty-eight foils found loose; probably all derive from cloisonné objects in the collection (in addition, five further foils were found with their garnets, see 693). Of varying shape, they were originally set behind the garnets on cloisonné objects. Many have lipped edges, indicating in each case the overlapping fit of the foil with its stone. All are of very thin metal, less than 0.1mm thick, and most weigh less than 0.01g. Their fine cross-hatched patterns were formed by a die. By the typology of Avent and Leigh (1977) most have ‘standard’ cross-hatched patterns; five have ‘boxed 3×3’ patterns [K413, K1222, K1390, K1421, K1572]; one [K1299] has an incomplete ‘special boxed’ pattern with 4×5 or possibly 5×5 boxes. Versions of this last pattern are seen also on the largest loose foil from the collection (694) and on the boss from the great gold cross (539). Possibly one is a plain foil [K1299].

Harness mount in gilded copper alloy with interlace and a glass setting. Three fragments, found in the same field as the Hoard, but some distance from it and scattered. They are very unlikely to be part of the same deposit. The largest was found in 2009, c. 100m from the excavation area; the two others were found 40–50m away, in 2012, and 40m apart. Originally the mount took the form of a roundel with a saucer rim; it is missing half of the rim. Gem-setting: at the centre is a blue glass cabochon (not analysed) in a plain cast bezel. Interlace: lines of dots emanate from the centre, forming a cross, with the zones in between filled with triple-strand interlace that is dense and not fully coherent. Reverse: plain, except for a complete rivet on the large fragment, with an expanded end (L. 8.5mm). A hole at the edge of one of the smaller fragments shows where another rivet was (possibly there were two others originally, forming a cardinal arrangement of four rivets around the edge). Wear/marks: abraded and scratched. Wear not possible to gauge.

Mount in gold of tongue-shaped form with an animal head and garnet cloisonné ornament. Probably a grip-fitting. Original slight curvature to the width. Several fractured garnets. Made from sheet metal, except for the projecting animal head cast in relief; a small tongue of sheet projects at the animal-head end, just below the muzzle; but it is missing its flange of sheet at the butt-end (see 521), which together formed the means of attachment. A small circular punch was used for the eyes of the head. Cloisonné: fish-scale cellwork; the flat red garnets are backed by cross-hatched gold foils of ‘standard’ type. Wear/marks: light wear. Set: pair with mount 521.

Hilt-plate in gold of oval form with one remaining boss. Two rejoined fragments, one tip bent. A top plate (grip side) from the lower guard. Constructed of sheet metal with a side-flange and originally an oval slot for the weapon tang cut in the centre. One rivet-hole each end; no rivets. Boss: one end only the rivet-hole is covered by a boss, made of sheet gold and pierced for the rivet with a filigree collar of a single beaded wire (Diam. 9mm); the other end has lost its boss but has a matching filigree collar. Wear/marks: light wear to filigree collars; light scratches. Beaded indentations from a hilt-collar/ring around the tang-slot. Rivet-holes are ragged on reverse, possibly from forced removal of the rivets. Set: possibly a suite with hilt-plate 267 and fragments 268–269.
