Bag rim fitting of the Viking Age from Birka.
Here you can buy a detailed replica of a fitting for the bag lid of a Viking belt bag after a model from Birka / Sweden.
Fittings for the rim of bags from the Viking Age are known from several find sites and are found more frequently in the find material from the Rus and Eastern Vikings in Sweden, Gotland and the Ukraine or Russia.
The bag rim fitting from Birka measures 2.5 x 1.5 cm.
The fitting is made in such a way that it can be bent with little effort. In this way it can also follow the course of a rounded bag edge.
The bag rim fitting is made of high-quality bronze and is also available in real silver-plated.
Fastening: There are four pins on the back of the fitting. To fasten the decorative rivets, simply insert them through the corresponding holes in the leather. It is best to use pliers to bend the tip of the pin inwards a little. If you then tap the pins flat with a hammer, the tip will sink into the leather and the bag edge fitting will be fixed stably and flat on the bag lid.
