The Hoard by roachling

The Hoard

After four lovely days, the cold and grey returned and inspiration vanished! We visited the museum I went to a few weeks ago (see 29th Jan) and this photo is one piece of the Staffordshire Hoard. It was dug up in a farmers field a few years ago, they found quite a haul of gold items dating from Anglo Saxon times - more info in the link below. I didn't take many photos so I didn't have much to choose from today, this will have to do.

Amazing to think of how much skill went into making things so long ago.
