 The evidence suggests that Irish metalworkers produced most of the best pieces, however the finds from the royal burial at Sutton Hoo, from the far east of England and at the beginning of the period, are as fine in design and workmanship as any Irish pieces.There are a number of large brooches, including several of comparable quality to the Tara brooch.Almost all of these are in the National Museum of Ireland, the British Museum, the National Museum of Scotland, or local museums in the islands.
