This is very interesting- I would love to come and see them in person! Greetings from the U.S.A. (Upstate New York)
This is the sort of thing that makes one's imagination run wild.. You can just about transport yourself back to the time
How much of what was found was actually Viking craftsmanship? Because if most of the stuff in there has been looted then you can't really argue that it shows the Vikings as deep complex people.
Thank you hobby of metal detecting.
Your welcome, pleased you didn't ban us in the early 1980s as archaeologist wanted
The Bird pin is for the braids in womens ornamental hair dress.
Yea... Yea... Hyea ya... Hmm yeah yea
The evidence of another cultural influence is crucial to understanding the Vikings, their behaviors and how they changed
I think the bird pin is a hair pin.
I just commented the same. Yes a woman's hair pin. I agree
The bird pin. Isn’t it a Lady’s hair pin? Or bodice pin?
Bodice's didn't exist until around the 16th century/renaissance. Hair pin or brooch are most likely.
Thanks. I definitely used the wrong word. I have a couple of nice long hair pins that can easily be used as protection with a simple pull from the bun. I was thinking of similar but located on the dress between the Bosoms.
How was it discovered ?
By a metal-detectorist.
Hirst overexaggerates his importance in introducing the Vikings to the public as humans. Magnus Magnusson did a great job of that around 1980. Hirst may be renewing popular interest, employing the standbys of sex and violence, but he is not the vanguard.
We may love history; but we should be wary of fascination with Viking religion and its darkness.
I think the gold bird is a hair pin
So if most of the objects are Anglo Saxon - why do you have a writer on who glorifies the people that killed them and stole from them . Surely a writer who know more about the Anglo Saxons would have been better ?
Weigh it all in and melt it into new stuff.
That would make it pretty much worthless lol
Other than the price of the material
Stupid comment much?
