Migration-period bracteate of the B type. In the centre a "running" figure from the side. The details are chased into the gold plate from behind with a model. One leg facing forward with the lower leg bent backwards. In the space between the legs a sequence of four runes: "l,a,th,u". "Lathu" probably means "invitation" in the sense of "evocation". The other leg stretched backwards and the lower leg bent upwards. The upper body leans forward... Face Forward, Leg Stretching, Runes, Upper Body, Period, Centre, Invitation, Gold, Plate
