History

A beautifully decorated yew bucket with bronze fittings from a 9th-century #Viking ship burial of two women, at Oseberg Norway. A human figure sits in lotus position, decorated with red & yellow enamel. The bucket is thought to be Irish in origin, acquired by raids or trade. pic.twitter.com/6tD6JvCuem
