A replica of a gold brooch has been created to represent one "plundered" from the Anglo-Saxon burial sites at Sutton Hoo.

The original jewellery was found by a ploughman in the 1840s at nearby Sutton in Suffolk and what is left of it is kept at Ipswich Museum.

Craftsmen Dave Roper has made the replica using gold, silver, bone and garnet stones.

Absolutely beautiful, showing true craftsmanship, not only by Dave Roper, but more importantly by the Anglo Saxons, who created the original.
I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.

One thing that comes from making the replicas is the skill that is learnt, these people must have learnt from others and adapted to put their mark on it. It's just a shame that no one knows who they were..... Amazing nonetheless
