It's a celtic sword design using celtic knotwork. For this reason, I doubt it has any connections to England.

It seems to me that God, with infinite wisdom and skill, is training the Anglo-Saxon race for an hour sure to come in the world's future. - Josiah Strong (1891)

I took it from a cassette sleeve, entitled 'Ærgeweorc - Old English Verse And Prose' read by Steven Pollington.

You call it freedom and tolerance. I call it a death dance for England

The Picture, or figures were or are, from the cheek pieces of the Sutton Hoo Helm?.........Englisc Warriors or dancing Englisc Warriors........

The Two Warriors holding the same sword between them, may be part of an Oath Swearing ceremony, between members of a War Band? or between a War Leader and a new member of his Personal War Band?

At least it is the image it gives me...Posted Image

"Lo There do i see my Father. Lo There do i see my Mother. My Sisters and my Brothers. Lo There do i see the line of my People going back to the Beginning. Lo They do call to me. They bid me take my place among them. In the Halls of VALHALLA. Where the BRAVE MAY LIVE FOR EVER."
