Cup and neck-ring from the Halton Moor hoard, late 8th-early 11th century. The decoration on this fine cup shows four large animals, which include a bull and a running beast. Between them are sprays of foliage with the heads of yet more animals. The style of this decoration is Carolingian; it was made in western Europe in the late 8th or 9th century and imported to England. The silver neck-ring is the most characteristically Viking piece in the hoard and is of a type found throughout the Scandinavian homelands of the Vikings.
