Anglo-Saxon buckets are an enigmatic and relatively rare type of object found in 5th to 7th-century Anglo-Saxon graves. They are constructed of wooden staves and copper-alloy or iron bindings, some of them no more than mug-sized, others 20 cm in diameter or more. Elaborate decorative elements on some buckets and many of the grave contexts suggest that these buckets were status goods rather than everyday household equipment.Cook, Jean Mary is the author of 'Early Anglo-Saxon Buckets A Corpus Of Copper Alloy- And Iron-bound, Stave-Built Vessels' with ISBN 9780947816643 and ISBN 094781664X.
