But because of the dates of the coins found with the helmet there are other possible owners for the ornate helmet including my own favourite King Anna. It is believed to have belonged to King Raedwald of East Anglia. The nose and mouth-piece are cast as one they are made of parcel-gilt and partly tinned copper alloy, with engraved detail and silver inlay. The ship identified by the ghost of its decayed timbers and rivets was 27 meters long. The iron crest and copper alloy eyebrows are inlaid with silver wire the eyebrows have gilt zoomorphic terminals consisting of boar heads, and strips of garnet cloisonné work immediately above the eye sockets. The crest itself is of iron and has gilt animal terminals at the forehead and back of the head, the animals having cloisonné garnet eyes. A crest runs over the cap of the helmet and leads down the face in a straight line, forming the nose, which is gilt copper alloy. It is believed that Raedwald, King of East Anglia around 600-624AD was buried there. Archaeologists discovered this helmet lying in the tomb. A reconstruction of the helmet found in the Anglo-Saxon burial mound at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk. The warrior motifs are known as the "Dancing Warrior" and "Fallen Warrior". Only four complete helmets are known from Anglo-Saxon England: at Sutton Hoo, Benty Grange, Wollaston and York. Three different dies were used for the figural scenes and two for the interlace. The copper alloy sheets are stamped with various patterns including animal interlace, and warrior motifs depicted in two panels.
