Viking Age comb made of bone.
Here you can buy an authentic replica of a so-called three-layer comb - made from real bone after a Viking Age find.
This bone comb replica is made after a Viking Age find from Sweden, dating to around 900 AD.
The Viking Age bone comb measures 9.5 x 3.5 x 0.8 cm.
The individual parts of the Viking Age bone comb are carefully glued together and firmly connected with bronze rivets, as was typical for the Viking combs.
Bone combs were already very popular at the time of the Celts and Romans and were equally used by Germanic tribes and Vikings for everyday hair and beard care well into the Middle Ages.
Unlike many contemporaries might think, cleanliness was definitely important to our ancestors. It is not for nothing that a bone comb is often found in archaeological graves from the Viking Age.
