Sutton Hoo Decorated Seam
Sutton Hoo, in East Anglia, England, is the site of two sixth and seventh century burial places, one of which contained an undisturbed ship burial, which was excavated in 1939. The burial chamber in the ship included many textile fragments, possibly from blankets, cloaks or hangings. The hem of a pillow cover was decorated with a strip reminiscent of the decoration of the woollen cushion from Mammen in Denmark.
