This concise; beautifully illustrated guide explores the enigmatic Franks Casket; carved from whalebone in 8th century northern England; and decorated with scenes from tales both pagan and Christian; as well as runic inscriptions. Leslie Webster helps the general reader to make sense of its iconography and meaning; the processes of its manufacture; and its somewhat confused history — it was rediscovered in modern times in France; whilst one panel remains in Florence.
