The Lynsted die stamp, found near Sittingbourne, Kent.
This magnificent find dates between 550-650 AD, and was found in the old kingdom of Kent. As no helmets have been found in the county, to have this found is almost certainly proof that pressblech helmets were made and used in Kent is astonishing, but no dancing warrior die stamp of this type has been found in England before. Hopefully it will be on display in one of the Kentish museums in the near future.
