| Obverse description | A stylised standing figure occupies the central field, depicted in a highly abstracted Anglo-Saxon manner with limbs rendered as geometric lines. The body is ornamented with pellets arranged in vertical rows, suggesting drapery or decorative elements. The figure's posture appears frontal with outspread arms, a design motif characteristic of Series Q sceats. The field is populated with additional pellets and linear devices filling the space around the figure. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border of prominent raised pellets. |
