Medieval necklace, England, UK
In 2022, archaeologists in the UK uncovered a "once-in-a-lifetime" find – a grand medieval necklace adorned with Roman coins, gold, garnets and semi-precious stones, with an intricate rectangular cross as its centrepiece. A burial item, likely draped around the neck of a devout, high-status woman (an abbess perhaps, or a minor royal), the ornament was plucked from the ground in the village of Harpole ahead of a proposed housing development, where it had lain for more than 1,350 years. Already nicknamed 'the Harpole Treasure', the necklace is much more extravagant than any other find of its kind, better-made and better-preserved than the Saxon necklaces found in the British Museum.
