Hanging bowl from the ship burial at Sutton Hoo
British Museum
London, United Kingdom
This magnificent bronze hanging bowl is the largest of three found in the ship burial at Sutton Hoo. We cannot be certain how it was used, but it might have been for hand washing.
Hanging bowls like this one were not Anglo-Saxon, and were probably made by British peoples from neighbouring regions.
