[MR] History Blog: Mystery Viking Jewelry

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends, Especially Vikings:

Today the History Blog reports on the donation of several pieces of early
Viking jewelry and accessories to a Norse museum.

The finds consist of a necklace, bracelet and two brooches and are
thought to date from the 9th century. The pieces may, or may not, have come
from a female in a boat grave discovered in 1955 at Frafjord. The grave
contained other goods, but was devoid of jewelry. Sadly the jewelry pieces
have now lost their context.

Yours Aye,
