Known locally as the Viking Mask, this art work depicts the ancient history of Suffolk in Longships which came to Britain from North Eastern Europe.
The mask is modelled on the bronze helmet found at Sutton Hoo, which is now held at the British Museum.
The screens are made from two different types of material - the main screens are made from wrought iron and the Suffolk Hoo Helmet is made from stainless steel. The gates symbolise Suffolk's colourful history.
The screens were unveiled to the public in September 1995 and were part funded by the Eastern Arts Board.
