Byzantine bucket unearthed at Sutton Hoo ' contained remains of important person', archaeologists say.
It is decorated with a hunting scene featuring naked warriors in combat with leaping lions.
An intriguing inscription on the relic in Greek translates as 'Use this in good health, Master Count , for many happy years' Archaeologists have located the bucket's intact base, showing it contained the cremated remains of an 'important person'.
The ship's wood rotted away in the acidic soil over the course of 1,300 years , leaving only a ghostly imprint.
Later analysis detected phosphate in the soil - an indicator that a human body once lay at rest there.
The figure was buried surrounded by opulent treasures, including a decorated helmet, gold coins and an iron sword.
