From the collection of a North American gentleman, formed in the 1990s.
In the Gnezdovo Hoard, 46 beads of sheet silver, most with granulation of Slav character, others with filigree, were part of one of the greatest Viking treasure found in the East. The jewellery, most of Scandinavian or Slav character, show the great mix of style and decoration which ornamented the dress and the garments of the Vikings in the East.
