The Amber Cup
This is the only known complete amber cup like it in the world. It is one of Britain's most precious objects from the Bronze Age. The amber probably comes from a country by the Baltic Sea. The rarity of the cup and the other objects tell us that Hove Barrow was the grave of a special person.
