  • ... that George Speake is currently reconstructing the more than 1,000 pieces (one pictured) of the Anglo-Saxon Staffordshire helmet? Source: ICON 2016: "The last great discovery of the Hoard will be the final form of the helmet, currently worked on by George Speake and Chris Fern." Butterworth et al.: "The Anglo-Saxon Staffordshire Hoard contains, alongside the well-publicised gold and silver objects, a large collection of over 1000 fragments of die-impressed silver sheet.1 These gilded metal sheets, when pieced together with other structural fragments of the hoard, provide us with a large portion of what is considered to be a highly-decorated, high-status helmet."
