Anglo-Saxon Pendant

Pendant Anglo-Saxon, 7th century

Pendant Anglo-Saxon, 7th century The British Museum

Circular sheet gold pendant with a beaded wire rim and corrugated suspension loop. Three cloisonné birds’ heads with cabochon garnet eyes, arranged in the form of a triskele, radiate from a central garnet ring, which encloses a circular setting, now empty. Surrounding the ring are two concentric bands of filigree, edged with twisted wire, containing heart-shaped motifs, S-shaped scrolls and single granules with beaded wire collars.
