Description: | Select Guide Rating The first full description of the Galloway Hoard, describing the work that has been done on it to date and what lies ahead to discover its secrets. In 2017 an intense fundraising campaign ensured that what came to be known as ''the Galloway Hoard'' was saved for the nation. Since then work has been ongoing to preserve and understand it. Over 5kg of silver bullion, many unique and enigmatic gold objects, the rare preservation of textiles and an unusual range of other materials, make the Hoard the richest collection of Viking-age objects every found in Britain and Ireland. Dr Martin Goldberg and Dr Mary Davis provide the first full description of the Hoard and place the find in a wider historical and geographical context. |
