A recent discovery on the Danish island of Tasinge reveals a patrice, a metal stamp, depicting a mounted warrior. This finding could challenge the belief that the famous Sutton Hoo helmet was made in Sweden. The helmet, dated to the late 6th or early 7th century, has design motifs previously attributed to Swedish artifacts. The new evidence indicates that stylistic features on the Tasinge patrice closely align with those on the Sutton Hoo helmet, thereby suggesting a possible Danish origin for this significant historical artifact.
The discovery of the Tasinge patrice could potentially alter the understanding of the Sutton Hoo helmet's origins, suggesting it was crafted in Denmark rather than Sweden.
The almost mirror-image design found on the Tasinge patrice closely resembles the mounted warrior depicted on the Sutton Hoo helmet, highlighting intricate artistic connections.
