🙏 We are honoured to have items from the famed Staffordshire Hoard on display in our Battle & Tribute exhibition.
⚔️ The Hoard is composed of small and incredibly fine objects, breath-taking in their beauty and detail.

Just recorded this fabulous #AngloSaxon disc brooch. The impression of the fabric it was mounted to is still preserved in the corrosion on the reverse. Also, the finder is thinking of donating to the local museum @findsorguk finds.org.uk/database/artefa…

This job. Sometimes you’re hidden in a store, perusing ancient iron lumps. The next, suggesting ink inspo for one of the world’s most famous video game series 💁🏼♀️ That’s how I like it 💪🏼

#FindsFriday this week is one of an astonishing number of Iron Age staters found at an undisclosed location in the environs of Sittingbourne. These finds seems to be pointing to a new area of extensive late #IronAge to #Roman activity.

So often at work I deal with the Staffordshire Hoard through glass, boxes, or as database records. So it's a real honour and treat to get up close and personal from time to time.
