Viking Silver-Gilt Drinking Horn Terminal
Circa 7th-9th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £468
Comprising a tapering sleeve and stylised bird-head with scrolled beak and angled bar above the eye; pierced in two places. 14.5 grams, 50 mm
Acquired in the early 1970s. Ex property of a Surrey, UK, collector.
The decorative style of the terminal bears resemblance to the Trewhiddle style, dated to the ninth to early tenth centuries, although it seems a more simplified version of the Taplow Horn terminals. Zoomorphic terminals on Trewhiddle style strap ends bear very similar circular ears containing chevron motifs, and panels of decoration on the brow. -
