Conservators have discovered that three gold, garnet and enamel pieces from the Staffordshire Hoard
Conservators have discovered that three gold, garnet and enamel pieces from the Staffordshire Hoard which bore no immediately obvious relation to each other fit together to form a beautifully perplexing mystery object.As historian David Starkey noted at the time, this is why it’s so important to keep archaeological discoveries intact in their proper context. If the hoard had been broken up and sold to the highest bidder, those pieces could have been scattered to the four corners of the earth.More about the find, possible solutions, a video and about the US Staffordshire Hoard tour! -- source link
