From around 700 to 1000 AD, it was common for the Vikings in Northern Europe to wear so-called oval brooches, in which chain distributors could hold several chains and stretch them across the chest. As an elementary component of women's costume, Viking Age necklace distributors are therefore frequently found in women's graves in eastern Scandinavia and the Baltic region.
