Pocket Museum: Vikings brings together nearly 200 of the most
remarkable artefacts that are held in museum collections around the
world. Although the popular image of the Vikings is one of wild,
violent raiders, the objects in this book reveal a more complex
society comprised of pioneering explorers and master metalworkers
who established a far-reaching trade network. From the vast Oseberg
ship to a tiny valkyrie pendant, and from simple wooden panpipes to
the unparalleled collection of silver items in the Spillings Hoard,
each object provides an important insight into this most
fascinating of cultures. This juxtaposition of the elite and the
everyday makes this volume unique in its field.
