While we were in England I finally visited Sutton Hoo, what a great site, the reproduction pieces were magnificent and was shocked to find out about the horseman and the queen burials I had no idea they were also undisturbed burials also. Seems there are more mounds along the river with a further two being investigated this year bringing the total to 22.
We had a great time recommended anyone visiting the Uk should visit leave at least two hours to fully visit the site, house and museum.

Such wonderful pieces and artefacts. The intricacies of that helmet are amazing!

Yes it is exceptional, I watched a reenactor craftsman crafting the master die for the press. He also demonstrated a copper pressing onto the die. Great craftsmanship the wife and I were amazing at the precious stone work he was doing. We spent 400€ on a cloak clasp with him for my wife’s collection.
Cheers
