ANGLO-SAXON PLANT MOTIFS

Natural patterns adorn both metalwork and manuscripts throughout history. This series of Anglo-Saxon plant motifs include designs from the Abingdon Sword (found in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford) and the famous Fuller Brooch (in the British Museum.) The patterns are irresistible, drawing the eye and leading you back into a forgotten world, even if you don’t always know quite what you are looking at!
