EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two exquisite pieces of Anglo-Saxon jewelry - a jewelled pendant cross from Ixworth, Suffolk, and a jewelled disc brooch from Sarre, Kent. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these stunning artifacts are made of gold, silver, garnets, and shell. The pendant cross measures 4.6 cm in length and is adorned with intricate cloisonné work. The vibrant red garnets contrast beautifully against the shimmering gold background. Its delicate design reflects the skilled craftsmanship of the Anglo-Saxons. Next to it lies the jewelled disc brooch from Sarre, featuring an equally impressive display of artistry. This circular brooch boasts an array of colorful gemstones set within its intricate cloisonné pattern. The combination of precious metals and vibrant gems creates a striking visual effect that speaks volumes about the wealth and status associated with such adornments during this period. Both pieces are housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford University, UK - a treasure trove for art enthusiasts seeking to explore ancient civilizations through their remarkable artifacts. This print not only captures the beauty of these Anglo-Saxon jewels but also serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and the incredible talent possessed by our ancestors in creating timeless works of art.
