Archaeology - The First Viking Treasure of Westerklief

A braided choker, made from six silver threads. This is an important indication the treasure is of Scandinavian origin, since similar jewelry are very frequently found in West Scandinavia (Denmark, Southern Norway). This style was fashionable in the late 9th century and the first half of the 10th century.
