Viking Age stave-chain with beard comb.
The Viking stave chain that you can buy here was made after an archaeological find from the Viking Age and is provided with a detailed replica of a beard comb made of bronze.Chains are found in all kinds of forms in the burials of the Viking Age, especially in eastern Sweden and on Gotland as well as in the Baltic States, and were often used to attach so-called functional pendants such as needle boxes, beard combs or hygiene tools.
The Viking stave-chain has a small and S-hook at one end, which is hooked into a brooch attached to the chest.
