Pictured is a silver “mystery object” about the size of a button. It has an almost Celtic design that has since come to be known as the Borre Knot. This motif, along with the braided rope and animal head patterns seen in the harness pieces, has been labeled “Borre Style” and is used to date other Viking sites that have grave goods with similar designs. The pieces all date from around 900 A.D.
