The Galloway Hoard is an assemblage of Viking Age objects that were buried in southwest Scotland around 900 CE. With quantities of silver and other materials, the hoard is large, complex and valuable. Remarkably, wrapping and covering the metal objects are preserved textiles, leather and braids that bundle, connect and contain the metal, glass and rock crystal items.
Join us online or in Edinburgh to hear from Dr Susanna Harris FSAScot on the team’s analysis of the hoard’s fabrics and the significance of these rare materials for understanding this extraordinary assemblage.
