Discovered in Leeds Metropolitan District by a metal detectorist in 2008/2009, this remarkable find consists of seven Anglo-Saxon objects that offer a glimpse into the rich history of the region. Among them are four gold rings, two of which are considered to be of the highest quality from this period. The Niello Ring itself is a true marvel, displaying intricate filigree designs that highlight the exceptional craftsmanship of its Anglo-Saxon creators. Its golden hue radiates elegance and sophistication, making it an extraordinary piece of jewelry from ancient times.
