Discover your own piece of early medieval craftsmanship with this cross stitch pattern inspired by the famous 7th century royal ship burial at the Sutton Hoo archeological site in England. Recreated in detail with bright colors and backstitching, these beautiful birds were originally found on the lid of a purse attached to a sword belt in the burial chamber and were made of gold, cloisonné garnets, and millefiori glass. Ravens, eagles, and other birds of prey like these were closely associated with Anglo-Saxon warrior traditions and the Norse god Odin, and this is a wonderful piece for anyone who loves early medieval art, history, and archeology.
