Anglo-Saxon Bronze Enamelled Hanging Bowl Bird Mount

Item Details

Description

6th century AD. A cast mount of a long-necked bird (perhaps a cormorant) with elliptical body and short tail; hollow to the underside, filled with cuprous corrosion products where it was attached to the rim of a hanging bowl; the creature's back with an elliptical panel of yellow enamel infill surrounded by a thin green enamelled outer border extending to the tail; the neck D-shaped in section and arched to form a hook, with the eyes and beak indicated on the upper face. Cf. the triangular mounts on a bowl from Ipswich in West. S. A Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Finds From Suffolk, East Anglian Archaeology 84, Ipswich, 1998 fig.69 and discussion in Bruce-Mitford, R. and Raven, S. The Corpus of Late Celtic Hanging-Bowls with an Account of the Bowls Found in Scandinavia, Oxford, 2005. 7.04 grams, 41mm (1 1/2"). Found Wiltshire, UK. The mount was used as one of a series of hooks by which the bowl was suspended. Hanging bowls formed part of the currency of prestige in 6th-7th century Britain; most of them appear to have been produced in British workshops and feature enamelling, a technique not often used by the Anglo-Saxons; they are mainly found in high-status Anglo-Saxon graves. It is likely that they formed part of tribute and dowry exchanges.
