Viking pouch bar of pine wood.
Here you can buy a wooden Viking pouch bar that is based on a historical find from the Viking town of Hedeby in northern GermanyThe Hedeby pouch bar suits perfectly for crafting an authentic Viking bag pouch on your own. The wooden bar comes in pairs and measures 30 x 3 cm.
The Hedeby pouch is well known in the world of Viking re-enactment as a Viking pouch made of fabric or leather that is attached to two carved pieces of wood on which there is attached a shoulder strap. The name derives from the Viking city of Haithabu in northern Germany, which was the second-largest city in the north during the Viking era.
Even if there are no finds of completely preserved bags from the Viking Age, the functioning of later finds of very similar bags of the Sami in Lapland is derived.
In addition to the Haithabu pouch bars, similar parts from Birka in Sweden and Viborg in Denmark are also known. The pouch bars from Hedeby were made from ash and maple and were between 18 and 49 cm long and 7 to 13 mm thick.
