CCCC MS 419 - Sermo Lupi
Description
An account of the resource
The first four pages of Wulfstan's Sermo Lupi ad Anglos, CCCC MS 419, pp. 95-8. This manuscript contains fifteen Old English Homilies by Wulfstan and others. Described by Ker (1957) pp. 115-6, and dated to the first half of the eleventh century. Sermo Lupi survives in five manuscripts; CCCC MS 419 is designated MS B in Napier's Wulfstan (1883). The homily opens with the rubric 'Lar Spell' and begins 'Leofan men. Gecnaƿað þat soð is'... The opening L, like many of the initials, is in red with a ball and crescent decoration. Sermo Lupi was composed c.1010-1016 and is the most famous of Wulfstan's homilies. All these images are © Parker Library.
The full image collection is available on the Parker Library website, along with a detailed manuscript description: http://parkerweb.stanford.edu/parker/actions/manuscript_description_long_display.do?ms_no=419

Ixworth Cross
Description
An account of the resource
Ashmolean Museum inventory no. AN1909.453. Gold, garnet. Mid 7th century. The central roundel is divided into concentric rings, comprised of rectangular and T-shaped cloisonné work cells. The flared arms of the cross comprise a central panel divided into four sections, bordered by rectangular cells containing garnets of a brighter red than those in the centre of the panel. The upper arm is modified to attach the biconical suspension loop. The back of the cross is made of a single sheet of gold, with a small repair patch on the border between the upper arm and central roundel. The cross is probably contemporary with the Wilton Cross and Sutton Hoo jewellery. Discovered in 1886 in a grave in Stanton, Ixworth, alongside a fragmentary disc brooch.

Gold Plaque
Description
An account of the resource
AN00032720_001_l. Almost square gold plaque with an attachment hole at each corner. A niello-inlaid line acts as a border on the lower three sides, but the blank area around each hole indicates that they were filled by a circular bossed rivet. The niello-inlaid decoration consists of a half-length zoo-anthropomorphic symbol of St John with eagle head and human hands which hold a book and pen. Around the evangelist symbol is an inscription. The back is undecorated, except for a free-hand incised assembly mark. All these images are © Trustees of the British Museum. These free low-resolution images are covered also under the British Museum's Terms and Conditions (http://www.britishmuseum.org/about_this_site/terms_of_use/free_image_service.aspx).

Description
An account of the resource
AN00013974_001_l. Walrus ivory sub-rectangular plaque, broken away along the right-hand edge. Eight attachment holes survive along the edges. The surface is highly polished, and carved in high relief with a crucifixion group. Christ in a loincloth stands erect on a cross with a stepped terminal on the upper arm; his feet rest on a ‘suppedaneum'. The head is broken off, but was evidently long-haired and bearded, as traces on the shoulders show, and the halo seems to be cruciferous. On plinths below the lateral arms of the cross, left and right respectively, stand the haloed figures of the Virgin and St John in attitudes of grief. Both have long garments and St John holds a book in his left hand. Above the lateral arms are personifications of Sun and Moon. The eyes of all the figures are deeply drilled. All these images are © Trustees of the British Museum.

St Ninian's Isle treasure
Description
An account of the resource
A Pictish treasure hoard discovered in 1958 on St Ninian's Isle, Shetland, buried beneath a stone slab marked with a cross, on what is believed to be the site of an early chapel. The hoard consists of various items of silver metalwork, some pieces gilded, including sword fittings, a hanging bowl, feasting bowls, an elaborate sliver spoon (possibly a communion spoon), brooches and thimbles. The hoard is made up of both secular and religious artefacts, and may be represent the treasures of a local religious community or aristocratic family. Whilst most of the items are considered to originate from the eastern and northern areas of Scotland, a number of objects show the influence of Anglo-Saxon metalworking techniques. The treasure is usually dated to c. 800AD.
