What is the Staffordshire Hoard?

The Staffordshire Hoard is the largest collection of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver metalwork ever found, anywhere in the world.

It contains just under 4,000 objects and broken fragments, most of which are war-gear.

The quality of the workmanship is extremely high which is remarkable in view of the large number of individual objects, such as swords or helmets, from which the elements in the hoard came.
