Photographed this in the British Museum. It is the Sutton Hoo mask, dating back to 625AD and was uncovered in 1939 where it had been part of a ship burial in East Anglia, UK, over 1300 years earlier. It is believed to belong to King Raedvald who ruled that part of Britain at the time. It is constructed of iron and bronze and has been carefully reconstructed by expert archaeologists.
