Create a beautiful pincushion that celebrates 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, this design is based on a pair of small sword-harness pyramids made of gold, cloisonné garnets, and millefiori glass that were found alongside an impressive iron sword at the heart of the Sutton Hoo burial chamber. This is a wonderful piece for anyone who loves early medieval art, history, and archeology.
