Lot 1024
Late 10th-early 11th century AD. A bronze Scandiavian pendant of Norelund type (also widespread in the historical Rus, Upper and Middle Dnieper region), with integral suspension loop; the openwork plaque with three-band border and four panels, internal stylised zoomorph with hatched panel to the hip, gripping hands to the body and border, facing mask below the loop. Cf. Korshyn, V.E. Yazicheskiye Priveski Drevniye Rusi X-XIV Vekov, Moscow, 2013, items K.1.02-04. There is a class of discoid pendants with banded borders and contorted figures found in the hinterland of the Baltic region, associated with the influence of Scandinavian settlers. The design of these items recalls specific elements of Scandinavian art - for example, the 'gripping hands' motif is a feature of the Oseberg Style named after the famous Norwegian ship-burial. Oseberg Style is associated with the beginnings of the Viking age, and was current in the 9th century when Scandinavian settlers began to establish centres of trade and political control in the area of the rivers Dnieper and Volga. The motif has been interpreted as a horse and linked with various legends and mythic figures, including Sigurð's fight with the dragon Fafnir. 6.26 grams, 34mm (1 1/2"). From an old Munich collection; acquired on the German art market before 2000. "Fine condition, usage wear."

Cf. Ekwall, Eilert, Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-Names, Oxford, 1970, p.148; see Ellis, Roger H., Catalogue of Seals in the Public Record Office: Personal Seals, volume 1, p.59, number P718 and pl.20 for similar design; see Bloom, J. Harvey, English Seals, London, 1906, for general information. Recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme, reference IHS-A8C1B3, accompanied by a copy of the PAS report. The surname Raner still exists today, with the variant of Rayner; the placename as DORhYNG may have a contraction mark after the last letter (or this my be an extension of the letter G itself) and, if so, it has been suggested that a longer name than Dorking, perhaps Dorrington (although ODEPN does not suggest such a contraction known for Dorrington) could be intended; the letters on the seal could also read DORkYNG so it is felt that Dorking, Surrey is a more likely attribution. 5.70 grams, 17.27mm diameter (3/4"). An important London collection of ecclesiastical seals, acquired since the 1970s; found near Littleborough, Lincolnshire, UK. Very fine condition.
