1/4 Treasures of the Anglo Saxons
First broadcast: 10 Aug 2010.
Art historian Dr Nina Ramirez reveals the codes and messages hidden in Anglo-Saxon art. From the beautiful jewellery that adorned the first violent pagan invaders through to the stunning Christian manuscripts they would become famous for, she explores the beliefs and ideas that shaped Anglo-Saxon art.
Examining many of the greatest Anglo-Saxon treasures - such as the Sutton Hoo Treasures, the Staffordshire Hoard, the Franks Casket and the Lindisfarne Gospels - Dr Ramirez charts 600 years of artistic development which was stopped dead in its tracks by the Norman Conquest.

7:02 that sounds kinda familiar Where now are the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing? Where is the harp on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing? Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. Who shall gather the smoke of the deadwood burning, Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?

If you’d read a bit about TolkIen’s source material for his books, you would know that he deliberately used more than 60 poems in LOTR including works of ancient Anglo-Saxon poems (including “The Wanderer”) and lyrics of English folk song. In the historian Thomas Kullmann’s view, Tolkien wished to draw attention to the “….wealth of a literary and cultural undercurrent which [had] not usually been recognized by the literary establishment (“Poetic Insertions in Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings,” published in _Connotations,_ vol. 23.2 [2013\14]). Tolkien was a philologist (look it up) who reconstructed an unrecorded early Germanic language which was used to write “Beowulf,” for example, and *for LOTR, he created his own languages for ents, dwarves, orcs, and men, and he also created 15 different Elvish dialects….he quite obviously was a champion for the epic poems he lived, refreshing them for the British people, and was decidedly **_NOT_** a plagiarist!*
And I will bring back the Old English language.

The anglo saxon period combined the artwork from several areas. The knot work is Celtic.
