The bronze hanging bowl was found in a cemetery at Sutton Hoo, Suffolk in 2000. It contained a cremation and a comb and was resting on textiles. Close by was a pot containing cremated bone and four other cremations. Hanging bowls were rare objects and the owner was probably an important person. Possibly the other burials wanted to be near the owner of the bowl.
