From the description, the bucket would have probably been made during the reign of Justinian and, if a diplomatic gift, the “Master Count” would have asserted that the barbarian chieftain receiving it was still under the suzerainty of the Roman Empire.

The
High Hall at Sutton Hoo looks like a wonderful place to visit! I watched the movie "The Dig" a few years ago and really enjoyed it. What an amazing tale.
I marked the "Willy Howe Burial Mound" in Yorkshire on Google Maps a while back. Google regularly sends me updates on how many people have visited based on the marked spot on Google Maps -- it has had over a million people look at it! I never thought an obscure place like that would get any interest at all.

Oh, Sunken, this was one of your best finds. The etching is exquisite. The musculature is reminding me strongly of the Art Deco simple lines. VERY unusual.

There’s a hole in the bucket dear Liza.

Hobson was a great character.
The original series of Time Team is fascinating with comedian Sir Tony Robinson, Mick Aston, Phil Harding, etc. and can be watched on youtube.
