In the farm of Hatteberg, formerly belonging to the barony of Rosendal to the south of Bergen, there was found in December 1932 a Viking period hoard (pl.xix) consisting of a gold armlet of twisted wire (weight 164·62 grammes), a large silver torc of the same workmanship (weight 403·5 grammes), and a silver brooch of penannular type. The objects lay together about 2 ft. deep in the ground without any protection, the armlet being threaded on the torc. Evidently this was no burial but a treasure, of a kind well known all over northern Europe in the Viking period, from Russia to the British Isles. The torc and armlet are of well-known form and technique, but among the best and most valuable of their class. Of greater interest is the brooch. It is a casting scarcely if at all finished by the chisel. The hoop is flat on the back, which is unornamented. On the front of either terminal a thin gold plate is fitted into a frame, and held in place by a silver rivet with large round head. The plates are ornamented with filigree of notched gold wire, and the rivet-heads also carried some silver filigree. This, however, now shows traces of wear, as does the hoop. As for the rest, the form and decoration may be seen from the illustration.
