And since analyzing the artifact, experts have confirmed that the ring came from the Late Iron Age and Viking Age.
Similar rings have been found in other parts of Norway, but they are extremely rare.
The University Museum in Bergen also revealed that the ring weighs a whopping 10.98 grams. Its size also suggests that the ring once belonged to a man.
Since the jewelry piece is a historical artifact, it has now been turned over to the museum for preservation.

The museum also plans to exhibit the ring in the coming months but has not yet finalized a release date.
Until then, museum officials are ecstatic that the ring ended up in the right hands.
“The archaeologists here in the county municipality are impressed by the knowledge of Mari,” said Karoline Hareide Breivik, the acting section leader for cultural heritage.
“One must have knowledge of the subject to know prehistoric gold. We are happy that the ring was handed over to us so that professionals at the museum can now care for it.”
