Please HELP me with my treasure...

[Jim Lyngvild]

I have just bought this big collection of ancient jewels from bronze and iron age. I have been told, that most of it is from the Finno-Ugric area, and the baltic sea (Since theres a lot of amber) But do any of you have more specifik knowledge about the collection....? I look very much foreward to here from you! This is only SOME of the collection!

Nice haul. Ummm....what did you pay for that ....<cough> ?

 

[Silver Searcher]

Why did you buy these items, when you don't know exactly what they are, or from which era.

I like them. They are very interesting.

FANTASTIC!!!

I did not know Danish museums sold collections in mass like that.


crusader will be along...I am sure he has knowledge on this subject...

Some of the things are easier to guess at than others. I would say the things beside the long needle looking thing are bells. The piece under the necklaces, with the red beads, could be something to hold a cape or tunic together at the neck. So it didn't fall off. The last thing looks like a key. Really not sure just guessing because of the way they look.

The items are from various cultures, the key is Roman, the pyramid bell on a chain looks Scandinavian, Bronze age bracelet, and other Roman items. The beaded necklaces could be from a few different time frames.

Buy I am still curious why somebody would by such a collection, with out knowing the origins, how would you know what price to pay

[unclemac]

I only Bought this huge collection, because a private danish museum asked me if i where interested. I have ben writing several books about the viking age, and most of these things, are clearly from the period, and before. The result, if i didn't buy it was, that the collection would be spread all over the world... So yes, i have possible payed WAY to much, but rather that, than seen the history destroyed in the pursuit of money. Right now, the collection is secured at the Moesgaard museum in Århus, Denmark, and i´m on the way to the Danish national museum, to have a meeting with them... everything has to go by protocol here... its quite an adventure i have set out on...

I really love that coil of payment silver and those cloak broaches too. But my favorite has to be the bucket of amber!

fantastic...one of the most wonderful collections of Viking treasure I have seen...

ok sir...I went an looked through a pile of reference materials I have...a catalog caught my eye...
the SADIGH GALLERY, they sell antiques' similar to the photos you posted...
while I believe they may be a bit high in their desire to make money, they do identify the objects quite well...
