Copper-alloy, 37.67 grams, 43.93 mm. 6th-7th century AD. A large flat cast plate with a pronounced external ridge containing a panel of Salin's Style II zoomorphic interlace decoration formed as four reptilian heads wth prominent roundel eyes emerging from a central four-way knot motif. The bodies are formed as three-band ribbons. Stylistically the piece belongs to the same cultural milieu as the material from Mounds 1, 2 and 17 at Sutton Hoo, Suffolk. The gilding is still present across much of the surface. There are four attachment lugs on the reverse, of which three are in perfect condition. Reference: MacGregor, A. & Bolick, E.
