Sutton Hoo near Woodbridge, Suffolk, England, is the site of two Anglo-Saxon cemeteries of the 6th century and early 7th century, one of which contained an undisturbed ship burial including a wealth of artefacts of outstanding art-historical and archaeological significance.

This sculpture is hung above the entrance to the Exhibition Hall and is of an Anglo-Saxon ceremonial helmet found in the excavations.
