| Reverse description | A winged monster depicted in flight to the left, turning its head to look back over its body in a classically derived but thoroughly Insular reinterpretation. The creature displays gaping jaws, a pronounced crest, and a raised tail, with its body delineated by a pellet outline. A clawed foot is shown below the body, while a foreleg is raised above the head, lending the composition a dynamic quality. The reverse iconography belongs to the distinctive fantastical bestiary tradition of Series O sceattas, executed in the hammered style with fine pellet detailing. |
