Three-layered Viking bone comb reproduction according to an original find for Medieval and Viking Re-enactment. 10.5 x 3.5 cmProductdetails...
Viking comb reproduction of bone.
Here you can buy a true-to-detail reproduction of an authentic Viking comb that is elaborately crafted by hand from bone.This Viking comb made of bone is modelled on a Swedish bone comb from the Viking Age, which dates back to the 9th century.
The Viking comb measures 10.5 x 3.5 x 0.8 cm.
As was usual with the historical combs of the Vikings, the different components of this three-layered bone comb are carefully glued together and sturdily connected with bronze rivets.
Combs made of bone have been used for everyday hair and beard care since antiquity, through the Viking era and well into the Middle Ages because contrary to what some might think, cleanliness was definitely an important concern for the ancients.
It is therefore not without reason that a bone comb is often found as a burial object in archaeological finds from the Viking Age.
