Item description from seller

New softcover in glossy printed wraps. Text is clean and free of marks or underlining. (5.8 x 0.25 x 8.25 inches) Includes photos and illustrations. 64 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. The Sutton Hoo Helmet has been a highly evocative symbol of Anglo-Saxon England since its discovery in 1939. Beautifully crafted and decorated with precious metals and red garnets, it was not only visually stunning but also fully capable of protecting its wearer in battle. This book explains how it was discovered, by the archaeologist Basil Brown, together with other priceless treasures buried in a ship at Sutton Hoo, Suffolk. He was employed by the owner of the estate, Mrs Edith Pretty, who generously donated the whole find to the British Museum. After painstakingly reconstructing it, experts were able to compare this very rare helmet to the few others dating to the same period, and also speculate on who it might have been made for. Today it is displayed in the Museum, a remarkable testament to Anglo-Saxon power and artistic skill.…
