Eliza
A brightly decorated polychrome scroll-head with flowers and bunches of grapes, which by tradition comes from a vessel stationed as a coal hulk off Nut Rock, south of Tresco. According to the 'Valhalla' collection notes made by Charlotte Dorrien-Smith of Tresco Abbey it was wrecked in 1867, but nothing further is known of its origins.
