Image description

Mystery Object: There is no known parallel to the mystery object, but experts believe it was part of an early Christian head dress. Roundel-with-disc in gold and garnet cloisonné, with animal-ornamented panels and a glass gem-setting. Original numbers: Animal panels [K54, K467, K1324, K1510] Triangular cloisonné panel [K112] Roundel [K130] Smaller disc [K545] Cylindrical column [K1055] The Staffordshire Hoard is the largest collection of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver metalwork ever found. Discovered in a field near the village of Hammerwich, near Lichfield, in Staffordshire, England on 5 July 2009, it consists of around 4,000 items. The majority of the objects in the hoard are gold, and were made between AD 570-650. The hoard was buried in the mid 7th century (AD 650-675).
