The gold spur from Rød is among the most spectacular of all artefacts from the Viking Age in Norway, and is the only one of its kind in Scandinavia. It is covered with intricate patterns in filigree gold bead thread and soldered gold grains and depicts animals and patterns in the Viking Age Borre style. The work is incredibly detailed. It was probably made by a Scandinavian jeweller in the last half of the 10th century. The spur was found in 1872 on the farm of Rød in Rygge during ploughing, together with a gold fitting. 45 years later, a second fitting was discovered in the same field. No trace of a grave was found, and the other spur has never been found. See the objects in the exhibition VÍKINGR. C5905, C5906, C22406.
