🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️

-THE ISLAND LIFE-

This 8th century Anglo Saxon sword pommel was found in 1964 by a workman who was excavating the foundations for Smith's Printing Works (now Monotype House, Fetter Lane, in London). It was purchased by John Allen (son of the famous publisher) from the workman for half-a-crown (worth about two pounds today, enough for a coffee).

The following description is from the British Museum: “It is decorated on both sides with a dense patterning of animal and plant ornament, consisting of, on one side, a spiral of four snakes separated by undulating leafy stems; on the other side, a spread-eagled beast with gaping jaws in profile encircles its body with its zoomorphic tail, against a background of leafy shoots.”
