Archaeology - The First Viking Treasure of Westerklief

6 Frankish bracelets, made of solid silver, with patterns of
indented dots. This find is quite unique - only in Ide (Drenthe) have similar
bracelets been found, probably dating from the same period. Because of
the lack of comparable finds, it is difficult to accurately date the bracelets.
However, since both bracelets were accompanied by 9th century coins, they
are thought to be 9th century Frisian.
