    Tas, I'm pretty sure I know the pieces in the Sutton Hoo find you
    mean, and the only term I know of for that technique is polychrome
    inlay. (That is, the use of gem material to provide coloured
    decoration through inlay) That, and the style is sometimes referred
    to as a 'ribbon' pattern, as far as the flowing, overlapping borders go.
