Unleash the Beast Within: A Glimpse into Anglo-Saxon Mystery!
Whispers from the Dark Ages:
Behold a captivating relic, the “Backward Looking Beast” wall plaque, a chilling echo from Anglo-Saxon England! Its genesis lies in the enigmatic sceattas, those early Saxon coins that surfaced across England and even the distant shores of Scandinavia, dating back to the shadowy 720s. This fearsome, backward-glancing creature, a recurring symbol of its time, finds a spectral twin on an artifact unearthed in York’s Coppergate, a haunting echo produced some three centuries later.
Imagine the thrill of discovery! Across the British Isles, intrepid detectorists have unearthed these ancient fragments, each one a tangible link to a forgotten past. But what grim tale does this beast whisper? Is it a maddened creature consumed by its own fury, locked in an eternal struggle with its tail? Or does it embody a darker, more sinister force – a miniature dragon of ancient evil?
From Humble Coin to Majestic Plaque: Our tribute to this ancient enigma began with the patient hands of a sculptor, coaxing a 5-inch form from raw clay. This is a far cry from the original sceat, a mere half-inch in diameter, yet it captures every spine-chilling detail. From this sculpted master, we meticulously create a mold, the vessel for bringing forth each cold-cast plaque.
Born in the Heart of Wales: Deep within our craft workshop, nestled amidst the majestic Cambrian Mountains of West Wales, every step of this creation is a labor of love, executed entirely by hand. This dedication to artisanal craftsmanship means that each plaque possesses its own unique character, a subtle variation that speaks to its handcrafted origin.
