Viking hygiene set with Birka tweezers and bone needle box - Norse toilet set for Viking for Apron dress for just €49.90 Norse hygiene set for your Viking costume. This Norse hygiene set, or toilet set consists of tweezers and a needle box. The needle box is carved from a cattle bone, the tweezers were made from a find from Birka and are made of bronze. These tweezers are fully functional, I once pulled a wasp stinger out of my arm with such tweezers! I attached the hygiene set with bronze pea chains to a handmade chain distributor made of brass wire. A nice gift for a Viking! Dimensions and material: Chain distributor brass approx. 3.6 x 1.5 cm / 1.4 x 0.6 inches Needle box bone ca. 8 x 1,5 cm / 3,15 x 0,59 inches tweezers bronze ca. 8,5 x 1,5 cm / 3,34 x 0,6 inches with ring Total length approx. 35 cm / 13.8 inches I recommend that you put a piece of virgin wool in the needle box - this provides the necessary hold for the needles and ensures that they do not slip out and are still easy to grip. Of course, you can also use the nail cleaner, it is not just meant to decorate your garment. This necklace is ready to ship and is just waiting for you to buy it. Either to wear it yourself, or to give a loved one a lot of joy! So that the delicate needles of bone or metal did not get lost, but were always at hand, the women of the Vikings usually carried a needle box. Such a needle box was often made of bone or antler. Usually, such needle boxes were carried on a ribbon or chain hanging from one of the two bowl brooches in the Viking era and were thus always at hand. Thus, such needle boxes are often found among the grave goods of Viking Age graves as a costume component. The horn and the bones come from the slaughter animal that serves for the nutrition purpose, all horn and leg products come from fair trade. No animals are killed for the horn or the bones.
