Anglo-Saxon situla from Oxfordshire
The photograph shows a situla or bucket, which was found with the skeleton of a boy, together with a bronze cauldron, spearhead, and knife. The situla is made of thin sheets of bronze over bronze hoops. The panels are decorated with Christian scenes such as the Annunciation and the Baptism of Christ. It is possibly of Frankish origin.
