Viking Bone comb with case from Sweden.
Here you can buy a detailed replica of a Viking Age bone comb with case, that was made entirely by hand from genuine bone.
This true-to-detail replica of a Viking bone comb with case is made after a historical find from Sweden, that dates to Viking Age around 900 AD.
Comb and case have the dimensions 13 x 4.5 x 1 cm.
The bone comb only measures 9.5 x 3.5 cm. Combs made of bone and horn were already spread at the time of the Celts and Romans, and they were used also by Germans and Vikings up to the Middle Ages for daily hair care.
Contrary to popular reports, hygiene and cleanliness were certainly very important to our ancestors. Thus, combs of bones and horn are found in large numbers in the archaeological material.
