Being a jeweler, I find this buckle fascinating. I can tell a lot about the creator of this buckle just by looking at it. I can tell they were right handed. I can tell the maker was skilled for their time but not above imperfection. The bird eye in the top right of the buckle has an incomplete solder joint. This happened because either the metal was not cleaned completely, the lift itself prevented a good joint or the lantern used for the soldering might have used dirty oil. I could stare at this all day.
@@JohnyG29 True, but I thought they were based on _tales_ of elephants, the presence of which can even be seen in the word's etymology (en.wiktionary.org/wiki/elephant#Etymology): From Middle English elefant, elefaunt, from Old French elefant, elefan, olifant, re-latinized in Middle French as elephant, from Latin elephantus, from Ancient Greek ἐλέφᾱς (eléphās) (gen. ἐλέφαντος (eléphantos))....

the amount of passion they both have is so nice, warm and soothing. they're both lovely beautiful people but tiny buckle is subjectively better then posh beer in this instance
This is one of two videos we're releasing on the same day for our new series Curators Cornered. We've set two of our curators the same task - Present the 'Best Ostentatiously Decorated, Otherwise Mundane Object' that they are personally in charge of. How do we choose which one is truly 'best'... we don't. YOU DO (big responsibility right?). Video with the most likes by the end of the week is declared winner and that curator will go through to face another successful curator from another round. So like this... if you like it. To see Gareth's best object: ruclips.net/video/eSKihUGnsz0/видео.html
Win for me. It's not just the detail that is impressive, it never ceases to amaze me how the maker produced such work with naked eye and, presumably, candles or oil lamp. I would not even contemplate trying to create such detail without a stereo microscope and very bright light source.
Art from this period is quite stylised, and becomes even more abstract at certain points. Don't blame you at all, they are not the most "bird-like" of birds. I initially thought ant-eaters and I was (remotely) there filming while Sue was talking through the object...
As a homebrewer of ale & mead, I was struck by the obvious wealth & position implied in the Great Ale Straw of Ur in the other video. However, the level of craft in these buckles brings to mind the many lines of praise given chieftains/kings & their war masters. This is the sort of thing early Europeans recognized as pertaining to either kings/chieftains & those given gifts for loyalty & bravery in battle. The margin is slim; here stands my vote. Well done, all ye contributing to such professionally done content!
This lady is one of those rare people who has found a job they truly love. Me, I could not care less if I show up at my workplace and found a gigantic sinkhole had swallowed it up completely - preferably along with my boss.
YAY! Sue is back! you know shes going to win this hands down right? might as well pencil her in for the finals of this challenge. Lets Go Sue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure it's even the most ostentatiously decorated early-medieval buckle in the video but the Sutton Hoo one has had plenty of exposure already so, what the hell, I'm giving this a like.
Thank you for presenting this. I like watching the Curator's Corner videos. I learn so much, and I build an appreciation for the people of earlier times.
Who said museums were boring! These guys make the British Museum look like the Disneyland of academia. I feel like they have a blast every day at work. When I grow up I wanna be a Irving Finkel.
I am torn... the drinking straw is much more mundane, but this buckle is much more decorated... I had to put like for both, but after some hard thinking, I would say buckle is a winner for this, even tho it was a close one for me.
Gareth’s 2500 yr old beer straw from a queen’s tomb was definitely awesome (secretly I wanted his object to win) but Sue gave an excellent description with attention to the micro detail and that won me over. Both objects and curators should be applauded!
well i think this is a better item...along with the fact that it's Gold...i can appreciate the artistry and superb skills that were needed to make such an item, coupled with the fact that the Buckle is such a personal item...it is easier to relate to...i love to find buckles when ime out detecting...so if i found something like this one...oh wow...well presented Sue !
One of the first things that strikes me as I consider the Kingsfield Buckle is wondering if the artisan had access to a magnification device. Otherwise, the granularity of eyesight required to fabricate such a tiny piece is astounding.
I absolutely love you Sue. Intelligent, gorgeous, intelligent, beautiful voice... did I mention intelligent? Would love to see more of you. I could listen to youread the phone book. :o)
What if the buckles have nothing to do with a person but the Satchel that they were attached to. Perhaps it was a satchel that carried a object of great importance. Maybe treaties or documents or possibly even seeds from far off land. Like she said buckles come on many things.
Would have loved to see the back of the buckle. Going to check out the beer guy, then vote. Thanks!! Came back to vote for Sue. BTW...what's your name, IT guy? You're doing a great job!!
What I find interesting is the similarity between art pieces from celtic, saxon, thresian cultures and have to ask how much interaction there was between them, or are they related. My vote has to go to sweet Sue.
So I think the buckles took a lot more skill, but are not necessarily the most ostentatious.. In your own words, they a "flash of gold from across the room", whereas a metre long silver straw decorated with gold and lapis straw for drinking beer is absolutely ostentatious: there's no chance that anyone misses the fact that you're using such a straw, and that it is dramatic display of wealth.. A gold buckle is expensive, but the details are so small that nobody would notice them whereas if everyone else in the room had their reed straws in the pot and you walked in and stuck your highly decorated gold straw in the pot it would immediately stand out. Straw wins...
To be honest, I find the Sutton Hoo buckle more appealing. But I understand how the higher degree of workmanship involved in the making of the Kings Field buckles makes them more special to many, or at least to some. But gold being such a soft and malleable material can not be very suited for utility objects like buckles. As an example, my uncle was given a gold watch, but he used it while doing heavy work and the casing bent out of shape, causing the clock mechanism to pop out.
Can't choose. I like my beer. However, I am also a leather crafter. So those buckles...............well I wish I had those to use in my work. I have to vote for both here.
6:56 The flipside argument here is *very interesting,* and something I contemplate often. To me it seems obvious that if you're trying hard to prove something; you feel yourself lacking in that area. Particularly when I see muscle guys or girls with tons of makeup and fancy hair. At the same time though, it's kinda like living in a concrete block city vs a fancy medieval cathedral city.. you know?
I have heard it is a process of pulling hot metal through sequentially smaller drilled holes in rocks - sort of like making pasta. Could be wrong for this period and civilisation though.
Considering the size of these buckles, ( 3Cm ) it is unlikely that they were used to support anything. Most likely,they were sewn onto the neck of a garment and either a holed strip of leather or a chain would go between them. Similar to the neck clasps from capes. Most likely made for a child.
Dr Sue should do a livestream chatting about all the sword stories and Norse shit. Then we can find out stuff like if she's into LoTR sword lore. I could listen to her talk about that stuff all day. That'd be a poppin twitch stream. Oh lord, i'm already a Sue simp.
That there are two shows repeatable skill and that there must be more to find. Gold working was perhaps more common at this time, so although I admire the buckle, I think the straw was more ostentatious.
This video makes me wonder how a metalworker's or jeweler's shop would have been equipped at that time. What tools did these crafts persons have? What was their source of gold...where did the gold come from? How did the jeweler get enough light to work by and magnify this tiny buckle enough so that she or he could work with it and detail it?
I’m Sue’s greatest fan, however…. Sipping the “liquid gold” 🍻 from a golden straw about a meter long with the approval and compliments of the goddess Ninkasi definitely wins this one. Please forgive me Sue 🙏
3:19 Did it dawn on you that perhaps the serpents are represenitive of Jormungandr or Níðhöggr (or some other Jotun or dragons), the birds of Huginn and Muninn (doubled), and the serpents bodies forming ᛟ (odal rune) twice or thrice? I may be reading into it too much, but you did show how it is like something found at Sutton Hoo. Just a thought from a non-Indiana Jones.
I really like that idea! My guess though is that they are a bit too academically cautious. As I guess you know, most of what we know about those myths comes from sources written centuries afterwards, particularly the Prose Edda written in the 13th century. Whilst I personally support the idea that Jormungandr..etc. are very old myths (given the links to other Indo-European Great Serpents), the time gulfs involved are pretty huge. The Anglo-Saxon's probably split off from the Norse culturally at the latest around 0AD (although, maybe the the Jutes and Angles later than the Saxons, given the regions the tribes came from). So you'd have to assume both that the Jormungandr or Níðhöggr myths written down by Snorri Snorrason represent reasonably faithfully Germanic ideas from 1300 years prior, AND that in the those myths were not lost in the 600 years between that point and when the belt buckle was made by Anglo-Saxons. Which is a bit of a stretch, but not impossible I guess, especially if it was a key religious motif, although then you have to think about the influence of Christianity... ...I know it's unlikely for a variety of reasons, but I really want some 5th century 'Anglo-Saxon Paganism for Dummies' book to be unearthed...
How functional were the buckles or were they purely decorative? Gold is a soft metal and those are tiny buckles that only attach tiny straps. Makes me think they were primarily decorative rather than functional.
They could also depict ravens. The design is not far from how Hugin and Munin were depicted, maybe most clearly at so called 'picture stones' (bildstenar) from Öland in southern Sweden. The highly detailed gold work also remind me alot of Scandinavian fine smithing, altho this tell me less considering all the cultural exchange between the Nordics and Britain over the centuries. Or rather, over the millennia.
Yeah I agree they have many similarities. This was found in Kent an old Jutish Kingdom, they originally were not very far from Sweden so no doubt styles and techniques would have come with them from Scandinavia when they founded the first English Kingdom.

I love whenever Sue gets to talk to us about the meaning of all these early medieval findings.
It was so interesting to hear that while the wearer obviously wealthy, there may have been other reasons he/she chose to wear it.
Whoever is doing the editing for the videos and incorporated the scans of the objects is doing a great job and needs more credit!
Cheers! That genuinely means a lot.

As a grumpy old wasp from the states I loved the intro and the idea. Of course, I think Irving Finkel will be the ultimate victor.

Wow Sue! You chose to fight this one with one hand tied behind your back! You could have used the Sutton Hoo buckle!
If I ever get to visit the British Museum, at the top of my list is an autograph of (or selfie with) Dr. Sue.

Would a gold buckle have been functional - or just purely decorative? Wouldn’t gold be too soft?
