Description
In 1856 workmen cut into a huge burial mound near Palmeira Square, Hove. Inside they found an oak coffin containing:
• pieces of a human skeleton
• a cup made from one block of amber
• a stone pendant
• a bronze dagger
• an axe hammer
The objects are about 3,600 years old. Look closely at the pendant. You can see a finely woven cloth pattern preserved in mineral deposits. The bronze dagger shows traces of its wooden sheath and handle.
