The Coppergate Helmet

Alanicus my old Roman rival has been up in York for the Viking festival this week. He sent me these lovely shots of the Coppergate Helmet. Soak up all that Dark age goodness.
It has a Christian blessing on it so is reckoned to be late 8th Century.

Notice the security guard who is posted next to it all the time.
