KALMAR, Sweden – The discovery of a remarkable artifact from centuries ago among tens of thousands of medieval objects found in Sweden has thrilled archaeologists.
Nearly 30,000 objects were discovered during the two-year excavation of medieval Kalmar, according to the Archaeologists, which is part of the government’s National Historical Museums. Among the unique finds was a gold ring in almost new condition.

Carved with the figure of Christ, the ring dates to the beginning of the 15th Century, according to the agency. Based on its size, researchers say it’s possible that a woman may have worn the ring. Other rings like it have been discovered in northern Finland, Östergötland and Uppland.
“Probably someone was unlucky and lost the ring 500 years ago,” said Magnus Stibéus, project manager at the Archaeologists.
