Viking beard bead in jelling style.
This cylindrical Viking beard bead or hair bead was inspired by historical models in the so-called jelling style of the Viking Age and is decorated with a distinctive dragon creature.The jelling style originated in the second half of the 10th century at the Danish royal court in Jelling (Jutland) and is dominated by ribbon-shaped and S-shaped animal figures. It was created through the increased contact between the Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon worlds during the Viking Age, in whose art slender animal figures were already used, whereby the griffin animal, which had been dominant in the Viking art styles until then, was replaced as the main motif and replaced by ribbon-shaped animal figures depicted in profile.
Viking hair bead dimensions: 1.2 x 1.2 cm. Hole diameter: 9 mm.
The Viking beard bead is available in high-quality bronze and in genuine silver plated.
For threading the Viking beard bead it's advisable to sharpen the hair strand with some hair gel or water, so that it can be led more easily through the hole of the bead.
Before you pull on the hair bead, you can also use a small beard rubber / plait rubber for particularly straight hair. This facilitates the placement of the Viking hair bead and also serves for a secure fit. A real Viking uses a piece of yarn to wrap the beard bead in the right style of course.
