Four glass claw beakers. Anglo-Saxon, Taplow, Buckinghamshire, 6th CE. H: 30.1cm. Inv. PY 1883,1214.16(&Others). - These were found in three separate areas of the burial. The two beakers on the right of the picture are a matching pair. They have a slashed trail on the claws and a simple slashed band separating the neck from the body. The neck is ornamented with a fine spiral trail that winds sixteen times around the neck. The body cone is also ornamented with a fine spiral trail of sixteen turns. The two beakers on the left of the picture are taller and narrow with a fine 16-turn spiral trail on the neck separated from the body of the cone by a heavily slashed trail. One beaker also has additional whorls of glass placed centrally between the tops of the upper tier of claws. The bases are made from separate discs of glass (unlike the other pair).
