This is the Hoen treasure, the largest treasure find from the Viking Age in Norway. The treasure was found in 1834 while working with ditch digging on the farm Nedre Hoen in Øvre Eiker, only a few kilometers from Sem. Several of the objects in the Hoen treasure can be seen in the exhibition VÍKINGR at the History Museum.
