Ca. 900-1100 AD.A women's diadem, meticulously crafted from a strand of tightly coiled bronze. The diadem's design incorporates a rather regular spacing of bronze beads along its length, imparting a sense of balance and elegance. Notably, the diadem showcases a unique feature wherein approximately half of its composition is skillfully braided with a hemp string. This braided section serves as an ornamental embellishment, adding depth and texture to the diadem's overall aesthetic. Distinctive to diadems of this type are the suspended elements present in the midsection of the hemp section.

This belief in the diadem's apotropaic properties reflects the Viking society's deep-rooted spiritual and superstitious beliefs.

These diadems were often worn as crowns or headpieces by Viking women, signifying their elevated status within the community.
