Loveden Cremation Urn (Inscribed panel only)3D ModelNoAI
This is one of a number of models designed to facilitate research on a 6th-century Anglo-Saxon cremation urn excavated at Loveden Hill, Lincolnshire (British Museum object number 1963,1001.14). The urn carries a runic inscription (Siþæbæd - a personal name), this is one of the earliest examples of written Old English, and the 3D model enables more accurate analysis of the inscription in its object context. Part of a collaborative project between the The Landscape Research Centre, the British Museum, and The Impact of Diasporas on the Making of Britain research programme (University of Leicester, University of Nottingham, and the Leverhulme Trust). This model of the inscribed section of the urn is designed to support viewing of the stamps and inscription from the ‘inside’ which is often sharper than from the outside. http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=63247&partId=1&place=29365&plaA=29365-3-1&page=1
