Sutton Hoo shoulder clasps
Gold shoulder clasps inlaid with garnet cloisonné and glass, Britain, c. AD 560–610. British Museum, blog.britishmuseum.org/eighty-years-and-more-of-sutton-hoo/
Perhaps my favorite piece from the Sutton Hoo ship-burial treasure, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutton_Hoo
Likely the burial of a King of East Anglia, though his identity was lost in the the acidic local soil. Discovered on a manor circa 1937, excavated in several campaigns. Wiki has the details, though not a photo this nice. Sadly, this one can't be used there. Perhaps I will ask nicely?
