Description: | Gold pendant. Sub-triangular, hollow, originally rectangular sectioned but now concave on both faces. The front and back plate and double ribbed suspension loop are formed from the same piece of metal sheet folded over, with a separate double ribbed repoussé sheet forming the sides, the ends of which join under the loop. Filigree decoration in the form of six closely spaced 'S' shaped scrolls not arranged symmetrically, and a length of wire following the edge of the pendant with inward curled ends near the top, is fused to the surface. Similar S-shaped filigree scrolls can be seen on a jewelled disc pendant from Faversham, Kent in the Ashmolean Museum collections (MacGregor and Bolick, 1993, 157, no.24.2). c. 7th century.
