Viking bead distributor after a Latvian find.
Here you can buy a detailed replica of a bead distributor from the Viking Age, made after a find from Latvia.The Viking bead distributor from Latvia is open-worked and shows a floral ornament. At the lower edge there are holes for up to seven rows of beads, although fewer chains can also be attached. Link to the original bead distributor...
The Viking bead distributor is available in bronze and silver-plated.
Bead distributors were attached to the bowl brooches which were worn in pairs during the Viking Age and connected them with several chains hung one above the other, some of which could reach a remarkable length.
The Viking bead distributor measures 4.5 x 4.5 cm and thus corresponds to the historical model.
The price is for a single bead distributor, so please order two pieces for a pair.
During the Viking Age, brooches with bead distributors worn in pairs were an important part of women's costumes in Northeastern Europe and therefore such bead distributors are often found in women's graves of the Viking Age.
Between the brooches, which were worn in pairs, several chains were often worn, which were either attached to wide bead distributors or to thin rod chain distributors. Especially in Finland and the Baltic States, but also on Gotland, such bead distributors were very common in the Viking Age.
