Reverse description A long-legged quadruped, likely a stylised beast or deer, depicted standing to the left with its head turned sharply backward in a characteristic reverted posture; the sinuous tail weaves upward and passes between the limbs, a motif typical of Series Q sceatta iconography. The animal is rendered with elongated legs and a fluid, highly stylised body, reflecting the abstract zoomorphic aesthetic of early eighth-century Anglo-Saxon die engraving. The field is plain and uninscribed.
