Product information "Sutton Hoo Helmet, 7th Century"
Anglo-Saxon Helmet of Sutton Hoo

The archaeological site of Sutton Hoo, located in the English region of East Anglia, includes numerous burial mounds. Most famous among those is the ship-burial from which remarkably well-preserved, precious artefacts dated back to the 7th century were excavated in 1939. The likely best-known finds from this grave are the famous Great Gold Buckle and the Helmet of Sutton Hoo, both significant testimonies of the quality of Anglo-Saxon craftsmanship.

The helmet is widely believed to have belonged to an Anglo-Saxon ruler and was most likely crafted in the early 7th century. Historically, it shares similar features with other early medieval Germanic helmets such as those found in Vendel und Valsgärde (Sweden).

The helm was excavated in hundreds of pieces. The original, reassembled fragments as well as a very elaborate replica by the Royal Armouries are today both on display for people to admire at the British Museum in London.

Our replica may, admittedly, not be as perfect as the one crafted by the Royal Armouries, but is nevertheless a highly decorative, brilliant (in every sense of the word) showpiece of early medieval armour, which, on top of that, is fully wearable. The helmet is lined with leather on the inside.

- Suitable for head circumference up to 61 cm
- Long distance (back to front): approx. 21.5 cm

Wundervoller Helm

Der Sutton Hoo Helm ist heute sicher angekommen, gut verpackt und eingeölt. Ich bin wirklich beeindruckt - ein großes Dankeschön an Battle Merchant und die Hersteller! Das Stück ist äußerst robust, komplett aus Metall und Leder, mit filigranen Verzierungen, die es optisch so ansprechend machen. Auch wenn ich kein Experte bin, halte ich es für eine exzellente Nachbildung, die meine Erwartungen weit übertroffen hat. Ob er sich für Cosplay eignet, kann ich nicht beurteilen, aber das Leder-Inlay sieht ebenfalls robust und historisch passend aus. Die Passform kann einfach durch Schnürung angepasst werden. Fazit: Dieser Helm ist für mich ein echter Schatz und wird von mir sorgfältig aufbewahrt werden.
