Bedale Hoard, Medieval treasure collection in North Yorkshire, England
The Bedale Hoard contains forty-eight silver and gold items, including necklaces, arm-bands, a sword pommel, and twenty-nine silver ingots from Viking times.
Metal detectorists discovered the Bedale Hoard in 2012, leading to its acquisition by the Yorkshire Museum through public donations and grants totaling £50,000.
The collection features a triangular iron sword pommel decorated with gold foil plaques showing animal patterns in late Anglo-Saxon Trewhiddle style.
The Yorkshire Museum displays the hoard alongside multimedia resources that explain its importance in understanding Viking-age trade and economics.
Four twisted cables of silver form a neck collar with hammer-welded flat terminals, representing a specific West Viking design found nowhere else.
Made from material: silver, gold, iron
