About the Book

Celtic hanging-bowls were produced from the fifth to the eleventh century and range from simple functional vessels to great masterpieces of the period. The first part of the publication sets the bowls in their historical and cultural background and discusses all key aspects of hanging-bowl research, including the much-disputed topics of origin, use, and chronology. The second part is a comprehensive and highly detailed catalogue, dealing with the whole series from Britain and Europe. The publication is lavishly illustrated with over a thousand black and white illustrations and eight colour plates. This long-awaited book by the leading authority on the subject will become the definitive work on this distinctive class of Celtic artefact.

Review :
The catalogue entries are meticulous, with expansive use of images and illustrations ... This Corpus certainly raises the bar for future catalogues ... Not only does this Corpus add to the source materials available for the early medieval period, but it will also invigorate interest and investigation into one of the more curious artefacts to be created in the insular world. Julianna Grigg, Journal of the Australian Early Medieval Association ...an essential source of reference for the period. The Society for Medieval Archaeology The book is a fitting memorial to Dr Bruce-Mitford whose contribution to early medieval archaeology...was immense... an important publication and we should be very grateful for the author's work and the splendid realisation of it by Sheila Raven. Michael Ryan, Antiquity
