A ladle from the Hoxne Hoard, dating back to the 4th or 5th century and discovered at Hoxne (pronounced Hok-sun) in Suffolk in 1993. Two fish, a Chi-Rho and a Cross, all Christian symbols, can be seen where the handle joins the bowl. Hoxne is said by some to be Haegelisdun, the otherwise unknown site of the martyrdom of St Edmund, King of the East Angles, at the hands of the invading Great Heathen Army on November 20th, 869.
