Sutton Hoo Oil Lamp – Wrought Iron Anglo-Saxon Lamp, 7th Century
This oil lamp is inspired by an original find from the famous Sutton Hoo ship burial in Suffolk, England. Made of iron, the historical lamp dates from the early Anglo-Saxon period and is attributed to the early 7th century. The original is now part of the collection of the British Museum in London.
Like its historical model, this replica consists of a round, slightly curved bowl supported by a three-legged iron frame. The three supports are held together beneath the bowl by a circular collar and extend into gently curved legs. The slightly flattened feet provide a stable base.
The lamp can be used either with wax or with oil and a suitable wick. Its simple, historically inspired construction and warm light make it an atmospheric addition to medieval and early medieval settings.
The Sutton Hoo Oil Lamp is not only an unusual decorative piece for the home, but also an excellent prop for medieval events, reenactment and LARP. It is particularly suitable for early medieval and Anglo-Saxon portrayals.
