Elisabeth Okasha

Her Hand-List of Anglo-Saxon Non-Runic Inscriptions (1971) collated descriptions and transcriptions of 158 inscribed, or carved, objects from the early medieval England and Scotland, including jewellery, sculpture, and weapons, and notable objects including the Ruthwell Cross, Alfred Jewel, and Frank's Casket.

[8] In the volume, Okasha and Preston-Jones put Cornish sculpture into context with Welsh, Irish, and other Western British examples, as well as the potential Scandinavian design influence evidenced in material culture but not present in any recorded settlements.

[9] A version of the academic volume was also published as a mass market book,[10] which was awarded the 2022 Holyer an Gof 2022 prize for leisure and lifestyle.

[1] At Cork, she supported refugee and asylum-seeker students, enabling them to study English language.

[1] Okasha was interviewed in 2012 for a St Andrews Special Collections feature, being one of seven generations of the Barty family to have attended the university.
