Two figures standing facing; long cross between, set on triangular base with trefoil, pellets above; triple border (the middle linear, the others pelleted).

EF, toned. Rare.


From the Beowulf Collection.
"The prototype for the facing head on Type 30 sceattas can be found in images of Medusa, which were commonly used as good luck charms in the Roman period (Gannon, pp. 30-31). The reverse type has numerous possible prototypes in classical sources, both numismatic and non-numismatic. These diverse origins notwithstanding, there are common ideas enshrined in them that certainly were influential in the development of this type. The crosses around the figures serve the same apotropaic function as on the similar, single-figure type (see lot 1363, above), but the addition of a second figure with similar features implies concerted action among equals (Gannon, pp. 101-103)."
