Description
Carved in the spirit of Viking tradition, this double-sided bone comb shows the pride Norsemen took in their grooming and appearance. Unearthed examples from legendary sites such as Birka, Hedeby and Jorvik show us that combs were not mere tools but symbols of personal dignity and status.
Crafted by hand from natural ox bone, each comb is polished . The dual edges serve different purposes, fine teeth for detangling and smoothing and coarse teeth for managing beards and thick hair. In the Viking world, such combs were also a used against lice which was essential for hygiene.
No two combs are identical. Their shape, tone, and lines vary. With age, cracks or changes may emerge which are the hallmarks of authenticity.
Whether preparing for a feast, adding authenticity to your Viking or fantasy ensemble, or preserving it in a collector’s case, this comb is both tool and heirloom.
