Grave Of A Saxon Chief A treasure trove inquest will be held on the Saxon ornaments and jewelry which, as reported in The Timtes on Wednesday, were found in the ship grave of a Saxon chief at Sutton Hoo, near Ipswich. The grave is on the estate of Mrs. E. M. Pretty and has been excavated by the Ipswich Museum authorities. The chief is be- lieved to have been buried about th- sixth century and was placed in his 82ft. long rowing galley. Archaeologists regard the discovery as one of the most inmportant ever made in this country. The only other ship burial, that of a chief of much lesser importance, was found at Snape, two miles away. Even on the Con- tinent these finds are rare. Added interest attacles to the Sutton Hoo burial because of the remarkable collection of jewelry and personal articles which have been uncovered. They were all found together in the centre of the ship and their quality suggests that they could have belonged only to a chief whose warriors had given him a ceremonial burial, surrouinded by his favourite treasures. SWORD BY HIS SIDE Among them are a handsome gold buckle, clasps and fasteners of his kingly vestments, gold studs fromn a belt, and small plaquies of gold bearing figurcs of human beings and animals. His sword had becn placed by his side, but practically all that now rcmains of it is the richly ornamented gold and jewelled pummel. Iiis soldiers had provided him, too, with money and remains of the purse were found beside some coins. There have also been found iron pots and spearheads. Another article had the appear- ance of a sceptre, and faces are carved at each end. There is also what appear to be the remains of a metal cup, which may have con- tained some articles of symbolic significance. When the excavations began a year ago they were carried on under the supervision of Mr. Guy Maynard, curator of Ipswich Museum. Be, saw that the find was one of national importance, and Office of Works and British Museum experts were called in and they have comDleted thc cxcavation.
