Silver bowl with a cross and a solar disc
European Museums, The British MuseumSilver bowl with a cross, a solar disc, and a six-pointed A set of silver bowls These
shallow silver bowls are from a set of ten that were stacked
upside-down inside the Sutton Hoo burial chamber. They were made in the
eastern Mediterranean, possibly for religious use - their cross-shaped
designs may have had a Christian meaning. We do not know how the bowls
were used after they arrived in Anglo-Saxon England, where Christianity
was slowly taking hold.
