This concise, beautifully illustrated guide explores the enigmatic
Franks Casket, carved from whalebone in 8th century northern
England, and decorated with scenes from tales both pagan and
Christian, as well as runic inscriptions. Leslie Webster helps the
general reader to make sense of its iconography and meaning, the
processes of its manufacture, and its somewhat confused history -
it was rediscovered in modern times in France, whilst one panel
remains in Florence.
