VICKY, THE

MYSTERY

WOMAN, PUZZLES THEM Admired By A King

A MYSTERY woman arrived at the British Museum with gold and silver ornaments found recently in a Saxon king's "funeral ship" at Sutton Hoo, near Ipswich. And she lay on a bed of cotton wool puzzling all the archacolo- gists.

The tomb is believed to be that of Redwald, King of East Anglia, who died in 627 A.D.

With the ornaments found in the tomb and brought to London were eight fluted sliver plates.

Embossed on the largest plato-is-the-mystery, woman.. The plates are known to be of Byzantine design, and are thought to have come from Constantinople in the sixth century.

But the woman has them puzzled. Because it was said she resembled the head of Queen Victoria on nineteenth century stampa, the silver plate woman has been nicknamed "Vicky."

Experts disagree with the theory that "Vicky" was a native of Redwald.

It is possible the plates were stolen by some Viking, king pillaging on the Continent, and brought to Britain as decorations for his house-or, perhaps during his travels ho met a beautiful girl, and wishing to have her image always before him had it embossed on silver to take home.
