Snettisham jeweller's hoard
Buried around AD 155
From Snettisham, Norfolk
Amazingly these metal objects all fitted inside the pot in the
picture. This collection once belonged to a jeweller and consists
of items that he needed for his trade. Have a look for the silver
coins and ingots which are waiting to be melted down and made into
jewellery. There is also scrap metal to be reused. Can you see the
gemstones ready to be set into rings, and the rings waiting for the
gemstones?
