(Radio Sweden) A ring found at the grave of a woman who was buried in the 9th century in the Viking trading town of Birka, west of modern-day Stockholm, was inscribed with the words "for/to Allah" in Arabic-Kufic writing. New analysis of the ring, done with electronic microscopy, found that it was in mint condition, and suggests that there were very few, if any middlemen, between the maker of the ring and the woman who it was buried with.
