Jewellery

To assist with teaching the period we have assembled a collection of resources based on a selection of themes. These pre-selected images have all been drawn from the Woruldhord, and therefore are available for reuse under those conditions. If using them, each image should be cited accordingly. Other themes: Anglo-Saxon Daily Life, Churches, Sculpture, and Weapons.

This theme pack contains a selection of pictures of Anglo-Saxon jewellery.

Among the items are rings, brooches and buckles made from different metals.
