Purse cover from Sutton Hoo burial
The metalwork purse cover, now on display at the British Museum in London, is one of the major objects excavated from the Anglo-Saxon royal burial-ground at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk, England. The site contains a collection of burial mounds, of which much the most significant is the undisturbed ship burial in Mound 1 containing very rich grave goods including the purse cover. The person buried in Mound 1 is usually thought to have been Raedwald, King of East Anglia, who died around 624. About seven and a half inches long, the purse lid is decorated with beautiful ornament in gold and garnet cloisonné, and was undoubtedly a symbol of great wealth and status.
==Background==
The Roman legions withdrew from Britain in about 410 CE, by which time there is already evidence that groups of Germanic people were living alongside the native Romano-British population, probably as auxiliary troops. Over the next 150 years, a period from which almost no records survive, they were evidently greatly added to by immigration, and began to create a new social structure and culture that spread to control most of Britain, and began to divide it into a number of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.
