Viking kaftan button in ball shape from Birka.
Here, you can buy an authentic replica of a ball-shaped Viking button that once served as a closure for a kaftan.
The button was recovered in the Swedish Viking town Birka on the Swedish isle of Björkö in tomb BJ 1074 and were found together with 17 additional buttons in identical form.
Ball-shaped buttons were also used in a very similar shape even far into the Middle Ages.
Thus, the Birka kaftan button complements both the Viking and the Medieval re-enactment.
You can buy this button in high-quality bronze or genuine silver-plated.
Alternatively, also available in 925 sterling silver (please note the delivery time). Alloy...
The ball button from Birka has the size: 1.2 x 0.9 cm. The eyelet has a diameter of 2 mm.
The button as a fastener appeared late in Europe and was brought to the north by oriental influences via the eastern trade routes of the Vikings and Rus, where buttons were mainly used in the Ukraine and eastern Sweden from the 9th century onwards.
Nevertheless, the button was hardly widespread before the middle of the 13th century and was mostly spherical in shape in the Middle Ages, as in the Viking Age. In contrast to today, in the Middle Ages the button was usually fastened directly to the edge of the garment and closed with an eyelet on the opposite side.
