The objects unearthed in 1939 from an Anglo-Saxon ship-burial at
Sutton Hoo, Suffolk, rank among the most splendid treasures in the
collection of the British Museum. Bringing together fine
craftsmanship from England, Germany, Scandinavia, Alexandria and
far Byzantium, the spectacular finds included gold and garnet
jewellery, silverware, drinking vessels with silver-gilt fittings,
a lyre and a sceptre, as well as the iconic helmet, all
deliberately buried in the early seventh century as grave-goods for
an important, though unidentified, warrior. The Sutton Hoo
ship-burial was one of the most exciting discoveries ever made in
British archaeology. This beautifully designed introduction to the
treasure details the most significant pieces contained within it
and explores the circumstances of its burial, discovery and
excavation, as well as its lasting legacy and fame.
