We returned to @NT_SuttonHoo at the start of this week to return loaned Staffordshire Hoard objects to Stoke-on-Trent. It sounds like Swords of Warriors has been very successful and has brought the Staffordshire Hoard to thousands of people.

This early medieval strap-end is among 12 items we've recently received after passing through the treasure process. I love the tiny silver face (whole thing is just over 40mm long!)

You can even see a 3D model thanks to @StaffsWMFLO https://t.co/d7C1jxo4Pn
