Link to the Viking Ear Spoon from Adelsö...
Among the Vikings, ear spoons were an important part of women's costumes and are therefore found in various designs everywhere in the Viking settlement areas.
Viking women often wore these ear spoons on a long chain or leather strap attached to their bowl brooches, and often a pair of tweezers and an awl were also attached to the ear spoon in this way.
The Viking ear spoon from Adlesö measures 7 x 1.5 cm and thus corresponds to the original dimensions of the historical model.
Made of high-quality bronze or in genuine silver-plated.
A black leather strap in 1 metre length is included.
The island of Adelsö is situated in the middle of the Swedish Lake Mälaren not far from the island of Björkö and was home to a royal court in Viking times from which neighbouring Birka was ruled.
More than 3,000 finds from the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages have been recorded on Adelsö, but most of them are from the Viking Age, making the island a veritable archive of prehistory.
