Great to be sharing the airwaves on @bbchw this morning with @Tostig1066 @findsorguk talking the #HerefordshireHoard and why it's so important for @HerefordMuseums to acquire

Here is the ring of power i spoke of - a gold octagonal finger ring inlaid with niello

🙏 We are honoured to have items from the famed Staffordshire Hoard on display in our Battle & Tribute exhibition.

⚔️ The Hoard is composed of small and incredibly fine objects, breath-taking in their beauty and detail.

Meet our terracotta zoomorphic roof finial, having a bad day for over 700 years. It originally comes from Weoley Castle.

Just recorded this fabulous #AngloSaxon disc brooch. The impression of the fabric it was mounted to is still preserved in the corrosion on the reverse. Also, the finder is thinking of donating to the local museum @findsorguk https://t.co/lLsx4SCrjU

[Tamworth Castle @TamworthCastle]

Our Battle & Tribute exhibition is currently one of only two places where you can see items from the #StaffordshireHoard !

The @staffshoard is the largest hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold ever found and our new Mead Hall, boasts several pieces for you to see.

A Gold Coin of Good Queen Bess - @FLO_Marches writes about the rare Elizabeth I gold half pound coin recently discovered near Shrewsbury.

Lovely short blog post and it reminds me - I really need to buy some chocolate gold coins for Christmas! 🎄🪙

This job. Sometimes you’re hidden in a store, perusing ancient iron lumps. The next, suggesting ink inspo for one of the world’s most famous video game series 💁🏼‍♀️ That’s how I like it 💪🏼

@TriFreako @pezzco @SueBrunningBM Love this, and there are quite a few Staffordshire Hoard inspired tattoos out in the real world too!

#FindsFriday this week is one of an astonishing number of Iron Age staters found at an undisclosed location in the environs of Sittingbourne. These finds seems to be pointing to a new area of extensive late #IronAge to #Roman activity.

We're appealing for your support to help us do vital conservation work on the Holy Grail Tapestries (Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris & John Henry Dearle) + The Star of Bethlehem, Edward Burne-Jones. Seeing images are good, the real things - much better!

So often at work I deal with the Staffordshire Hoard through glass, boxes, or as database records. So it's a real honour and treat to get up close and personal from time to time.
