ARCHAEOLOGY
The gold and crystal jar found in Galloway by a metal detectorist is on display for the first time.
The 5cm (2in) high jar is part of the Galloway Hoard - a collection described as one of the most important UK, [Scottish, surely? Ed] discoveries of the century.
Decorated with a gold filigree - an intricate metalwork - experts say it resembles a perfume bottle. And a Latin inscription which translates as "Bishop Hyguald had me made" shows the vase likely had a religious function.
When found it was wrapped in lengths of linen and placed in a silk-lined purse. Experts initially used 3D x-ray imaging to view the jar inside its wrapping without risking damaging the treasure. The jar was then separated from its wrapping with painstaking care over a series of months.
Because of the textile preservation methods, this is the first time the object has been available for public viewing.
Dr Martin Goldberg from National Museums Scotland said: "The rock crystal jar is one of the highlight objects from the Galloway Hoard.
The small object's base appears to be a religious seal, probably belonging to a bishop. Gaps in 9th Century church records means it has not been possible to identify Hyguald precisely, but he was most likely a Northumbrian bishop.
It and other objects from the hoard will be on display at Kirkcudbright Galleries until 14 June 2026.
