Description:
Anglo-Saxon artists were master gold- and silversmiths. Tribal leaders commissioned splendid objects for their own use and bestowed elaborately adorned jewelry and weapons on friends and followers. These three pieces, all of which demonstrate the delicacy of Anglo-Saxon jewelry making, come from the region of Kent, in southeastern England, which was a great center of jewelry production.
