Single link for a Viking Age stave chain after a find.

Hier you get a whole Viking stave chain......
For attaching the stave chain to brooches and pendants we recommend our S-hook or the small mounting-Ring, for extending with other bar chain elements we recommend the eyelet.
The stave chain was used during the Viking Age to carry a needle box at waist level attached to a bowl brooch or to fasten toilet cutlery, which was typical of the women's garments of the Viking Age.
The staff chain is also very suitable as a suspension for a Viking knife sheath or sax scabbard. Here, the links are mounted single or in pairs at an angle to the fittings of the scabbard, creating a triangular suspension.
You can buy this chan link in high-quality bronze or genuine silver-plated.
Alternatively, also available in 925 sterling silver (please note the delivery time).
