Gustav Bruunsgaard discovered seven silver arm rings dating to the Viking Age near Aarhus, highlighting its historical significance as a central hub in Viking trade.
The bracelets, weighing about a pound in total, were not only decorative items but also functioned as currency and trade goods connecting regions as far as Russia.
Among the arm rings, the coiled ring's origins trace back to Russia or Ukraine while others reflect the cultural exchange between Scandinavia and the British Isles.
Legal ownership of archaeological finds like the silver arm rings belongs to the Danish state, ensuring their protection and recognition, with compensation provided to finders.
