Description of the Product

During the Viking Age, it was common to carry one or more hygiene pendants attached to a chain or leather strap. The chains were attached to clothing with a brooch and the pendants hung approximately at belt level, so they were always at hand for use whenever needed. In addition to an ear spoon, nail cleaner, tweezers and pricker also a key, needle box or a small knife could be attached in this way to carry with you everyday.

An awl or pricker was useful for all kinds of tasks around the house, farm and wool processing. Awls have therefore been found in many different forms everywhere in the settlement areas of the Vikings. This specific pricker is a replica of an awl found from Birka, Sweden and it dates back to 10th century.

As early as the Bronze Age, small prickers or awls were used for personal hygiene alongside the ear spoon and fine bronze tweezers. For Egyptians and Romans, these were even a part of the medical instruments, and they were also widely used by Germanic and Viking peoples as indispensable components of hygiene and beauty care.

  Tilasin keskiaikaisen hupun. 100% puuvillaa, joten voi käsitellä kosteussuoja-aineella. Vaivatonta kaupankäyntiä.

  Sain kaksi muistikirjaa ja kalligrafiasetin setin 25-vuotis lahjaksi rakkaaltani. Ne ovat upeita! Olen saanut valtavasti kyselyitä muistikirjan alkuperästä ja kehunut Rautaporttia laadukkaasta käsityöstä. Tuotteista huokuu estetiikka, laatu ja taianomaisuus. Täydellinen lahja historia-/fantasianörtille!

  I'm very happy to shop and cooperate with this company. The customer service is perfect, fast and friendly.
The products have good quality,  good prices and are exactly what you see at the pictures, no fake photos.
I'm just received a package 📦 today, and it takes 7 days from Finland 🇫🇮 to come to Greece 🇬🇷. Very fast and easy!!

  Siis aivan huikea!!
Tilasin pari tuotetta aamupäivällä, ja 24h myöhemmin ne olivat jo noudettavissa postin automaatista!
Kaikki sujui kuin rasvattu, ei ole mitään moitittavaa.
Vaatteet olivat juuri sitä mitä tilasin, ja koot pitävät kyllä todella hyvin paikkansa! 😍
Aion ehdottomasti tilata vielä uudestaan, ja ehdottomasti suosittelen kaikille!
