Foxtail necklaces were not only widespread among the Vikings; these special necklaces were already being made in the Celtic Latène period and were also quite common in the Roman imperial period, where they were used in particular as women's neck jewellery.

The foxtail necklace is a necklace that is both stable and very flexible. The chain links consist of many interlocking eyelets that are bent together.
