A warriors face the strong brows inlaid with red garnets, the nose and mouth gilded and its surface tinned a silvery colour this is how the Sutton Hoo helmet once appeared to those who saw it. This book explains how it was discovered together with other priceless treasures including a ship in the great mound at Sutton Hoo, Suffolk.
This short book in the ''British Museum Objects in Focus'' series looks at one of the most striking and emblematic finds from Anglo-Saxon England. It presents the story of the excavations at Sutton Hoo and the discovery, in 1939, of the ship burial and the helmet. The process of restoring the helmet is described and it is put in context with other similar finds.
