Strap distributor ring - After a find from Gotland.
This detailed replica of a strap distributor ring for a Viking sword scabbard after a find from Gotland dates to the 10th century.
The original, which was used as a model for this Viking belt spreader ring, was found in Kopparsvik near Visby / Gotland and is now in the possession of the National Museum in London.
The belt distributor ring has three heads in Borre style and a central knot inside. According to the classification of the archaeologist Lena Thunmark-Nylén, it belongs to belt distributor type 2.
Strap spreaders were widespread in the Viking period and can be found in Sweden as well as in Russia and in all other Viking settlement areas.
Strap distributors like this one were used in the Viking Age to distribute the individual straps of the sword hanger or the suspension for the sax and ensured that they hung at the optimum angle ready to hand on the belt.
The Gotland strap spreader has a diameter of 3 cm and side openings 1.5 cm wide.
Made of high-quality cast bronze or in genuine silver-plated.
