Image 1: King Edgar offers to Christ a charter for the New Minster at Winchester.
Image 2: Falconers. The sport of falconry was restricted to the nobility in the Middle Ages, with different species of birds reserved specifically for different social ranks (for example, a king was permitted a peregrine falcon, while an earl could only hawk with a goshawk).
Image 3: The Alfred Jewel. Probably produced at King Alfred's command (the writing on the side reads "Ælfred Mec Heht Gewyrcan," which can be translated as "Alfred Ordered Me to be Made"). the jewel may have been used to hold a pointing rod of wood or ivory. The jewel may in fact be the enigmatic "æstel" that Alfred ordered to be kept with the books he ordered provided to each bishopric in his kingdom.
Image 4: Three views of the Alfred Jewel.
Image 5: The Sutton Hoo Helmet. Probably produced for kind Radbod of East Anglia, the Sutton Hoo helmet was a decorated or ceremonial helmet and probably never worn in combat. The crest on the top has been identified as a boar, a decorative feature described in Beowulf.
Image 6: The Sutton Hoo Buckle. An example of the fine goldwork that could be produced for a king even in the early Anglo-Saxon period.
Image 7: The Sutton Hoo Purse Lid. An exceptional example of enamel work, the techniques of which were probably brought to England from the continent.
Image 8: Anglo-Saxon Ring. Probably produced for a queen.
