The talk will explore the animal imagery of the Staffordshire Hoard, looking at the find from a symbolic perspective. Depictions of animals were important in early medieval art and belief. We will look at the way that this art intersects with the functionality of the objects in the Hoard, creating meaning for the wearer that is sometimes obvious and sometimes not!”
