Anglo Saxon Urn, Sewerby Hall

Handcrafted Replica Anglo-Saxon Sewerby Urn

Details

This museum-quality replica is based on an Anglo-Saxon urn excavated from Sewerby, East Riding of Yorkshire, one of the most significant burial sites of the Anglo-Saxon period.

The Sewerby cemetery is a pagan burial site, among the earliest of its kind, dating back to the 6th–7th centuries AD. As was customary in Anglo-Saxon funerary practices, a wealth of objects was buried alongside the deceased, offering invaluable insight into early Anglo-Saxon life, society, and craftsmanship.

Excavations at Sewerby uncovered a remarkable collection of artefacts, including:

• Pottery
• Jewellery
• Weapons

These discoveries have contributed significantly to our understanding of Anglo-Saxon culture and are now housed in the Sewerby Hall collection.
