1,400 years old and still captivating — the Sutton Hoo Helmet, unearthed in 1939 from a 6th-century Anglo-Saxon ship burial in Suffolk, was painstakingly reconstructed from 100+ fragments. A masterpiece of early medieval craftsmanship, now on display at the British Museum. 🛡️
The movie made about the discovery was actually pretty cool too.
This mask weight about 2.5 kg from what I read . They found it in lavish total burial grave . It is celebrated as “ British Tutankhamen “ 😁 what a difference from the Egyptian
Nice to see an indigenous piece that was not plundered from the colonies.
