Scabbard Guards from the St Ninian’s Hoard, Scotland dated between 750-825 on display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh

These decorative additions to a sword scabbard were part of the burial treasure excavated at St Ninian’s Isle in Shetland, Scotland. These ornate guards have Pictish symbols and spirals, such as the one on the right, and Anglo-Saxon writing, such as the one of the left.

The left guard is inscribed INNOMINEDS (In the Name of God the Highest) on one side and RESADFILISPUSSCIO (Resad Son of Spusscio), a Christian prayer in Old English. Weapons were often part of exchanges between the Pictish and Anglo-Saxon rulers in the 8th Century.
