English: The Hon Hoard (or Hoen hoard, in Norwegian: Hoenskatten), was found at the Hon (Hoen) farm in Øvre Eiker, Norway in 1834. The Hoen Hoard is the largest Viking-period gold hoard known from Norway. It includes 207 pieces, of which 54 are gold or silver-gilt objects, twenty coins (looped for wear on a necklace), also of gold, a necklace with 132 colourful beads of glass or semi-precious stone, two neck-rings, three arm rings, one finger-ring and a triangular shaped trefoil brooch formed of a Carolingian strap mount. The large Frankish brooch, originally adorned a warrior’s sword belt, or bandolier, in the Carolingian Empire about 800, was later made into and reused as a brooch in Norway. The deposited gold treasure is dated to ca. 850–875. The hoard can be seen in the Museum of Cultural History (Kulturhistorisk museum) in Oslo, Norway.


Norsk bokmål: Hoenskatten er et av de største skattefunnene som er gjort i Norge, med i alt omkring 2,5 kg gull og noen sølvsmykker. Skatten ble funnet på gården Hoen (Hon) i Øvre Eiker, Buskerud i 1834. Funnet omfatter 20 mynter, 51 smykker og 125 perler av glass og halvedelstein. De fleste myntene er fra midten av 800-tallet, og en regner med at skatten ble lagt ned rundt 875. Smykkene er hovedsakelig produsert i Skandinavia, men et lite innslag av angelsaksisk og frankisk materiale, deriblant en stor trefliket spenne, et av de fineste eksemplene på frankisk gullsmedkunst overhodet. Skatten er utstilt i Kulturhistorisk museum i Historisk museum i Oslo.
