Description: | Early Anglo-Saxon circular escutcheon frame and integral hook of hanging bowl, with suspension ring engaged with the hook, disc missing. The frame, broken and distorted, is decorated with moulded transverse grooves, and is of D-section but chamfered on the reverse around the inner edge. The hook, which has been squashed down to touch the frame, terminates in an animal head with moulded brow, blind-hole eyes and jaws open to receive the rim. The suspension ring is of sub-circular section. Silvery solder remains on parts of the reverse including the chamfer, which would have accommodated the disc. Frame external diameter 36mm, internal diameter 28mm. Ring external diameter 17mm, internal diameter 12mm. 7th century.
