The ring of almost pure gold weighs 32 grams, and its dimensions exceed
those of today. It is slightly damaged, possibly by a plow or scraper.
The ring consists of two twisted strands with two thin bars wrapped
around them. This is a fairly common Scandinavian motif of that period,
but experts find it difficult to determine the origin of the ring
accurately. The Vikings traveled a lot and traded a lot of assets, so
the ring could be in England in different ways, according to Museum
Crush.
In Essex, Viking rings are often found: in the British Museum, a ring
found in the XIX century, a similar ring was found in Colchester. This
is due to the fact that Essex is located in the South-East of Britain,
where the invaders came from Scandinavia. Another popular place for
archaeologists is in the North, where in February 2018 found a mass
grave of Scandinavians who came to Britain in the IX century.
