Anglo-Saxon Sutton Hoo Helmet

Crafted from iron and tinned copper, the Sutton Hoo Helmet was buried (c. 600) and likely belonged to an East Anglian king. Reconstructed from fragments, its beast-like face and warrior imagery link it to Woden cults and Eastern Sweden. The helmet symbolizes elite status and early English power, reflecting the cultural and political landscape of its time, and showcases the craftsmanship and beliefs of the Anglo-Saxon elite.
