Hitekno.com – For archaeologist Sweden find gold pieces or foil emas displays a number of figures engraved in it.

Interestingly, in this gold foil find there is a carving of a couple hugging each other,

The unique figure is 1,300 years old and was found in the ruins of a large hall at the Aska site, Sweden.

Archaeologists and experts are still trying to collect the broken gold foil figures to reveal more about the person engraved on them.

“We estimate to find 22 foil figures. The exact numbers are not very clear as they are mostly fragmented and there is some uncertainty as to which fragments came together, “said Martin Rundkvist, professor of archeology at the University of Lodz, quoted from Live Science, Friday (12/3/2021).

Although damaged, the fragments have regularity. When found, many of the pieces were folded untidy.

A goldsmith named Eddie Herlin opened it and one of the figures had a tip that folded toward the center.

Although some gold figures have been found at other sites in Sweden, no written records remain of them.

One possibility is that the pair embracing was a god and goddess pair.

In addition to gold foil, archaeologists also found the remains of two game pieces made of whale bones and three iron pendants in a spiral pattern.

Radiocarbon dating indicates that the hall at the site was built between AD 650 and AD 680.
