The use of animals in the art of this era provides what Hicks calls &quot;a dual interpretation of belief for pagans and Christians&quot; (57). For instance, there are Christian and pagan elements found in the ornamental yet functional weaponry of the Sutton Hoo ship burial. In fact, Hicks calls Sutton Hoo &quot;a metaphor for the art of the period; animal ornament is an integral part of the decoration of these different styles&quot; (58). This dual interpretation can also be seen in the architectural sculptures on &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;the &lt;/del&gt;churches of the seventh century. The animals used were &quot;chosen because of their symbolic function, which would have been interpreted by the onlooker in the light of his own knowledge and belief&quot; (79). These depictions of animals were &quot;retained as a means of transferring primitive belief into the official religion&quot; (81).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;In Chapter Two of &#039;&#039;Animals in Medieval Art&#039;&#039;, Carola Hicks informs the reader that by the end of the seventh century England will become a &quot;Christian country&quot; (57).
