Based on the helmet which was found in the boat burial of Sutton Hoo, allegedly which belonged to king Raedwald of East Anglia.
This iconic helmet was hand carved and cut from an antique spoon, and then all details were engraved by hand with minimal use of power tools. This master copy was then cast in various materials by Jewellery casting Scotland and hand finished by myself.
Please note that this is a made to order piece and we may not have it in stock at the time of purchase. Casting may take up to three weeks depending on the amount of orders we have at the time. Feel free to email us to check stock if the order is urgent.

In the listing the piece might look darker than the finished piece. We artificially darken our silver pieces with liver of sulphur so that the details will show up in photographs but as standard the finished piece will be shiny and polished. If you'd prefer us to darken it then please let us know and we will happily do this for you.
This has been carved by myself from a silver spoon and then cast in high quality by Jewellery Casting Scotland and finished with a mixture of power tools and traditional hand tools like files and saws.
