With the huge interest in all things #SuttonHoo at the moment, and because the exhibition spaces here and the @britishmuseum are currently closed, we are bringing some of the objects from the Great Ship Burial to you via social media! First up is of course the helmet... (1/6) (2/6) For many this the most iconic object discovered at #SuttonHoo but its importance was not realised at first & this may be why it didn’t feature in #TheDig. It was discovered as over 500 rusted fragments.
