The Staffordshire Hoard. An Anglo – Saxon Treasure
VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: The Staffordshire Hoard. An Anglo – Saxon Treasure Summary: The Staffordshire Hoard: An Anglo-Saxon Treasure tells the story of the Hoard's discovery, acquisition for the nation, and the six-year research project that pieced its fragments back together, identified its objects and explored their manufacture. Written by a team of specialists in Anglo-Saxon archaeology and history, and expert conservators with unparalleled access to the Hoard, the text is illustrated throughout with full-colour photographs, maps and explanatory drawings. Key chapters discuss the decoration and meaning of the Hoard's intricate ornament, the techniques of Anglo-Saxon craftsmen, the religious and historical background, and hoarding practice in Britain and Europe, to place this most exceptional find in context. Finally, the text explores the impact that the find has had locally, nationally and internationally in the twenty-first century.
