The beautiful Viking artefacts known as Bedale Hoard were restored seven years ago and restored to their original beauty. The objects, believed to date from the early 10th century, were discovered by metal detectorists in North Yorkshire.
The magnificent pile of valuables, which experts believe are the rich Viking's lifetime collection, have been put back to their original state. The incredibly rare artefacts, believed to date from the late ninth or earlyearly 10th century, were found in May 2012 by a metal detector enthusiast near Bedale in North Yorkshire.
The Bedale Hoard contains a gold sword tip, a silver neckpiece and a silver arm jewel. There are also 29 silver ingots, two further silver neck rings and gold rivets. Conservation work has been carried out over the past few months to restore the artefacts after the collection was bought by the Yorkshire Museum.
Natalie McCaul, curator of archaeology at York Museums Trust, said, "Since the hoard has been conserved we can see its true beauty and the incredible craftsmanship that went into creating some of the artefacts."
The most striking piece is believed to be part of an Anglo-Saxon sword. "Thanks to the conservation, we can see the individual slices of gold that were used to make it. This treasure really makes us think about the part of Yorkshire in question in a Vikings time in a slightly different way than we have done before. The hoard contains various items from the Viking world such as a huge silver neck jewel," added McCaul.
As well as the items already mentioned, wood and textile fragments have also been found which give a clue as to how the treasure may have been buried. This is another valuable piece of information for archaeologists.
Fifty thousand pounds was raised to purchase the hoard after an appeal by the Yorkshire Museum, including grants of eleven thousand pounds from The Art Fund and the Victoria and Albert Purchase Grant Fund. The remainder of the funds were raised from the public.
