From the Viking time

The burglary at the University Museum 

In mid-August2017 there was a break-in at the University Museum of Bergen.

 So far around 400 objects are registered as stolen from the archeological collections

 Most of the objects are from the Viking Age.

 I went to see some of the items found.

The thief came to the police and told what he had done

He had all the things in cheap ikea  bags.

Bracelets and silver fragments

Armrings

Many of the items are severly harmed .

The thieves sawed and glued the items

We will probably notknow the whole truth and if it was a"bestillings tyvery"

Four men are arrested in the case.

Draupnir

In Norse mythology, Draupnir (Old Norse "the dripper" is a gold ring possessed by the god Odin with the ability to multiply itself: Every ninth night, eight new rings 'drip' from Draupnir, each one of the same size and weight as the original.

Draupnir was forged by the dwarven brothers Brokkr and Eitri (or Sindri). Brokkr and Eitri made this ring as one of a set of three gifts which included Mjöllnir and Gullinbursti. They made these gifts in accordance with a wager Loki made saying that Brokkr and Eitri could not make better gifts than the three made by the Sons of Ivaldi. In the end, Mjöllnir, Thor's hammer, won the contest for Brokkr and Eitri. Loki used a loophole to get out of the wager for his head (the wager was for Loki's head only, but he argued that, to remove his head, they would have to injure his neck, which was not in the bargain) and Brokkr punished him by sealing his lips shut with wire.

The ring was placed by Odin on the funeral pyre of his son Baldr:

Odin laid upon the pyre the gold ring called Draupnir; this quality attended it: that every ninth night there fell from it eight gold rings of equal weight. (from the Gylfaginning).

The ring was subsequently retrieved by Hermóðr. It was offered as a gift by Freyr's servant Skírnir in the wooing of Gerðr, which is described in the poem Skírnismál.
