Title
HANGING BOWL
Description
English:

A large (74.3mm in length) and very well preserved enamelled copper alloy hooked escutcheon from an early Medieval hanging bowl, dating to the 7th century AD. The hook is moulded in the form of a bird's head with bulging eyes. This would have curled over the bowl rim to hold a suspension ring. The plate of the escutcheon is in the form of an inverted triangle with rounded knops to both top corners and small knops midway down each side. This lower portion of the plate comprises a triangular or forked tail. Together with the zoomorphic hook, this combination of elements provides an overall effect of a bird resting with folded wings.

The plate is decorated with a knotwork design comprised of champlevé enamelled cells, with yellow enamel for the knotwork and red enamel for the field. One cell is missing, however the remainder of the enamel is intact.

The escutcheon is a relatively large example with a curvature suggesting that the bowl from which it originated had a rim diameter of approximately 35cm.
