Silver-gilt sword pommel. Early Anglo-Saxon, 7th CE. From Crundale, Kent, England. L: 6.1cm. Inv. PY 1894,1103.1(&Others). - Pommels of this form are called 'cocked hat' after their distinctive shape. The pommel is decorated with two interlaced Style II animals on the front side. The two animals cross one another at the neck, with their long U-shaped jaws biting the body and rear leg of their mate. The long front legs are intertwined beyond the hip joints and extend across the necks to link above the creatures' heads.
