EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pottery cremation urn discovered at Loveden Hill in Lincolnshire, dating back to the 6th-7th century Anglo-Saxon era. The urn's bulbous shape and exquisite craftsmanship immediately draw attention. Adorned with deeply incised chevrons, it is further enhanced by horizontally set impressions of a stamp, resulting in four circular depressions that may have been made using a fragment of a bone comb. Currently housed within the prestigious British Museum, this ancient artifact offers us an intriguing glimpse into the burial practices and artistic skills of early medieval Britain. Its presence evokes thoughts on life and death during this period, as well as the cultural significance attached to cremation ceremonies. The photograph captures not only the physical beauty of the urn but also its historical importance. It serves as a tangible link connecting us to our ancestors who once inhabited these lands centuries ago. Through careful preservation and display at one of the world's leading museums, this remarkable piece allows visitors to appreciate both its aesthetic qualities and its role in understanding our shared heritage.
