The bracelet from Bygland

3D ModelNoAI

This narrow copper-alloy bracelet was found in the same area as the iconic Langeid Sword. The parallel rows of deep set, and angular facets make for striking decoration.

The bracelet was discovered in 1957. It was part of a larger burial field deep into a southern Norwegian valley. The woman in this grave was laid to rest with a pair of bracelets, Viking Age oval brooches, more than 60 beads, a spiral chain in bronze and an equal-armed brooch. She also had several tools including weaving swords that would come in handy for producing textile.
