Huxley Hoard, Viking silver collection at Museum of Liverpool, England.

The Huxley Hoard contains 21 silver bracelets, one silver ingot, and 39 lead fragments discovered near Huxley in Cheshire during 2004.

Norse settlers from Dublin likely buried these silver items in Cheshire during the early 900s after being forced to leave Ireland.

The silver bracelets feature intricate punch work patterns, including crosses, lattices, chevrons, and zig-zag designs that reflect Norse craftsmanship.

The collection is jointly managed by the Museum of Liverpool and Chester Grosvenor Museum, with specialized display features for visually impaired visitors.

The lead fragments indicate the silver items were stored in a lead sheet or lead-lined wooden container when buried in the ground.

Made from material: silver
