| Reverse description | A stylised bird or fantastical creature rendered in a highly schematic manner occupies the upper field, depicted in profile with hatched or lined body suggesting feathers or scales. Below the central design, a bold cross pattée is set prominently in the lower field. The entire device is enclosed within a double or single beaded border, a characteristic feature of Series BZ sceats. The reverse design reflects the abstract zoomorphic vocabulary common to Insular metalwork of the period, executed with confidence despite the small flan. |
