EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Anglo-Saxon glass necklace dating back to the 5th century. The necklace, discovered in an inhumation grave at Hornsea, East Yorkshire, is now proudly displayed at the Yorkshire Archaeological Society Museum in York. The intricate design of this ancient piece of jewelry is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of its time. Composed of mixed polychrome glass beads, plain glass accents, and stunning amber beads, it radiates a vibrant array of colors that have managed to retain their brilliance over centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact, we are transported back in time to an era where such necklaces were not only symbols of beauty but also held deep cultural significance. This particular necklace was buried with its owner as they embarked on their journey into the afterlife. Every bead tells a story - stories of trade routes stretching across vast distances and tales of skilled artisans who meticulously crafted each delicate piece by hand. It serves as a tangible link between our present-day world and the lives lived by those who came before us. Thanks to dedicated preservation efforts by experts like CM Dixon and Mike Dixon from the Yorkshire Archaeological Society Museum, this precious relic continues to captivate visitors with its timeless charm. Its presence reminds us that even through death and burial, objects can transcend time itself - becoming cherished treasures for generations yet unborn.
