🐣. Offer Xtras! Viking ear spoon with bone and glass beads - Norse hygiene for the Viking woman - Nordic brooch chain - Apron style - SCA for €19.90 Viking ear spoon made of brass, reworked from an original find from Birka. The original of this ear spoon was found in Birka on the burial ground 2 / district 2A / grave No. 507 and dates from around the 900 - 1000 century. I attached the ear spoon to a bead chain made of small bone beads and brown glass beads. To hang it on the brooch pin I added a metal S-hook. This ear spoon can also be used naturally, it is not just to decorate your robe, it is better than any cotton swab. Dimensions: Ear spoon approx. 6,5 x 1,3 cm / 2,56 x 0,52 inches Length with S-hook ca. 23 cm / 9,05 inches Ear spoons were, so to speak, the "cotton swab" in the Viking Age and an indispensable part of women's costumes. Ear spoons were found in many different forms all over the Viking settlement areas. The ear spoon was attached to a long chain or a leather strap on the shell fibula of the women's garment and hung down from there to belt height - ready for use at any time. Often a pair of tweezers and an awl were attached in this way at the same time. My brooch chains and necklaces are all unique pieces. No part is like the other. So you can be sure that your necklace is a unique piece that no one else has! A nice gift for a Viking woman! The chain comes in a nice fabric bag.
