This necklace, found in a woman's grave, is the finest of its kind to survive from Anglo-Saxon England. Its gold wire beads and pendents set with garnets reflect a mixture of Mediterranean and Continental fashions. The inclusion of a cross pendent reflects the influence of Christianity on Anglo-Saxon culture during a time of changing religious beliefs. From Desborough, Northamptonshire, England, UK. Anglo-Saxon England, late 600 CE. (The British Museum, London)
