Related tidbit... A nice ivory figurine from India was recovered from a dig in Pompeii, the Roman city buried by Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Your article sent me looking for a map of Helgö's location. I came across a couple of sites I found interesting & thought others in the group might also find them interesting.

Arts of the Silk Roads
by John Major
Asia Society

A mirror from India with an ivory handle carved in the shape of a female fertility deity was buried under volcanic ash at Pompeii in 79 CE. Among the first images of Buddhist deities in human form were those carved in the province of Gandhara (present-day Pakistan) in the 2nd century CE. Unlike anthropomorphic Buddhist images carved farther south in India, these Gandharan figures, which were based on provincial Roman models, wear heavy, toga-like robes and have wavy hair. The figural tradition of Buddhist art spread through Central and East Asia and also to Southeast Asia, taking on local and regional characteristics.

the original article (and photo) is no longer online (check the Wayback Machine though), even though it turns up on the BAR search engine (go figure). Here's a related story or two.

The Viking Museum
http://www.virtualoslo.com/html/body_viking_museum.html

"...Also on display is a bucket with carvings of Buddha heads. The bucket is from 850 a.d. and it is amazing that Norwegians kept Buddha symbols at that time. The bucket is imported, but we do not know where from. Most probably it is from England "

Viking Brooch
http://www.williamreimann.com/heritage/heritage/country_denmark1.html

"The Vikings were aggressive explorers, and their contact with many cultures (the most extraordinary proof of this being perhaps the small bronze Buddha-figure from Northern India which was discovered during an excavation at the 6th century trading post of Helgõ in Sweden), if anything, brought them a greater self-awareness of the unique qualities of their own art."

The Viking Age
http://www.norseamerica.com/vikingage/vikingage.html

"In a Viking grave in Sweden archeologists found a figure of Buddha from northern India."

Der "Buddha" von Oseberg
http://www.niflungen.de/ose/index_e.htm

"Another finding from Norway, the figure of Myklebostad, is so similar  to Oseberg’s Buddha that a work of the same artist might be possibly hypothesized. The breast is also here adorned with 'runehakekors'. The difference is that we do not find the Lotus seating position in this figure, but it stands on its feet. This further finding further decreases the possibility, that the Oseberg-Figure is an accidental booty from the British islands. If the proof of a British manufacture could really be produced, this could be inferred on the basis of the ornamentation because of its working."

I’m getting bugged driving up and down this same old strip
I gotta find a new place where the kids are hip
My buddies and me are getting real well-known
Yeah, the bad guys know us and they leave us alone

[Chorus: Brian Wilson]

[Verse 2: Mike Love]
We always take my car ‘cause it’s never been beat
And we’ve never missed yet with the girls we meet
None of the guys go steady ‘cause it wouldn’t be right
To leave their best girl home on a Saturday night

[Chorus: Brian Wilson]
I get around
Get around, round, round, I get around
From town to town
Get around, round, round, I get around
I’m a real cool head
Get around, round, round, I get around
