English: Early Anglo-Saxon gilded copper-alloy mount, 35mm long, 24mm wide and 3mm thick. The object is flat, and in the form of a horned head with a prominent central raised angular nose flanked by raised circular eyes. The face has a long moustache which protrudes slightly out at each side. This sits above a lentoid open mouth and a pointed triangular bearded chin. A raised border separates the face from its hair (or perhaps helmet) which is represented by raised parallel lines. From each side of the upper part of the head emerge curving horns, which taper slightly and meet in the middle above the head. These have birds' head terminals, although one is damaged and incomplete.

The whole object is quite worn and in places the decoration is missing, but it does have traces of gilding all over the surface, which is particulary visible where the horns join. The reverse has three integral circular prongs, one placed behind the chin and one on the base of each horn. The object is in fair condition with a dark brown patina and weighs 5.44g.

The object is almost identical to the one recorded from Letheringsett with Glandford (Medieval Archaeology 2002, page 208, fig. 2C.) which is dated to the seventh century and thought to be a representation of Woden.
