| Reverse description | A stylised lion or feline beast depicted in profile facing left, with a large rounded head and schematically rendered body in the Celtic curvilinear tradition. The musculature and limbs are indicated by bold incised lines and swelling relief forms, giving the figure a vigorous if abstracted appearance. A spiral or scroll motif is visible in the upper field, possibly representing a solar or vegetal ornament. The abbreviated legend SA appears in the field, most plausibly interpreted as the initial letters of a ruler's name associated with the Cantii tribe of southeastern Britain. The flan is irregular and the surface carries characteristic green-brown patination. |
