Oxbow writes: This is the book that was to have been Sutton Hoo Vol 4!

Celtic hanging-bowls were produced from the fifth to the eleventh century and range from simple functional vessels to great masterpieces of the period. The first part of the publication sets the bowls in their historical and cultural background and discusses all key aspects of hanging-bowl research, including the much-disputed topics of origin, use, and chronology. The second part is a comprehensive and highly detailed catalogue, dealing with the whole series from Britain and Europe.

This long-awaited book by the leading authority on the subject will become the definitive work on this distinctive class of Celtic artefact.
