Viking tweezers after a find from Gotland.
This true-to-detail replica of a Viking tweezer is made after a historical find dating back to the 9th or 10th century.The Viking tweezers have the following dimensions: 8.5 x 1 cm with ring. Without ring 7.5 cm.
The Viking Age tweezers are made of high-quality bronze and are also available in genuine silver-plated.
Tweezers were, besides nail cleaner and ear spoon, often part of the toilet cutlery on women's dress during the Viking Age and are therefore found in many different forms in the settlement areas of the Vikings.
A black leather strap in 1 m length is enclosed with the Viking tweezers.
Since the Bronze Age, bronze tweezers have been used for personal hygiene by our ancestors. With the Egyptians and Romans they were even part of the medical instruments and so tweezers were still indispensable for hygiene and beauty care and an elementary part of women's dress.
The Vikings often wore the tweezers together with other toilet accessories on a long chain or a leather band on the bowl fibulae, where they could reach down to hip level and were thus always at hand.
