The Anglo-Saxon Mandala was inspired by a brooch believed to have been made in Faversham, Kent, England. Now held by the Metropolitan Museum, New York


The region of Kent, in southeastern England, was an important center of Anglo-Saxon jewelry production of the type represented by this delicate, brightly colored piece. The interlace patterns created by gold filigree and the polished garnets reflect the high quality of goods worn by individuals in life and later buried with them.
