* Apart from the jewels and weapons, lots of other objects were found in the burial chamber of the ship burial at Sutton Hoo. Some of them came from far away. The owner must have been very rich to bring them all the way to England. * There were 16 pieces of silver made in the Eastern Mediterranean: * ** A Byzantine silver dish (72.4 cm across) made during the Reign of Emperor Anastasius I (AD 491-518) ** A silver fluted bowl and handles ** A silver ladle. ** A small silver cup. ** 10 shallow silver bowls ** 2 silver spoons inscribed with the names of 2 Christians: 'Saul' and 'Paul' * There was a large bronze 'Coptic' bowl with handles. Coptic means that it was made in ancient Egypt. * There was a big set of drinking vessels: ** 2 big curly drinking horns . The horns probably came from big bulls called 'aurochs'. They are extinct now. ** 6 little bottles made of maplewood . ** 8 little cups made of burr-wood. ** They all had gold covered decorated silver plaques around their rims. * One of the most interesting things found was the remains of a wooden harp .
