Description of the Product

Tweezers made of bronze have been used for personal hygiene since the Bronze Age. 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. Removing thorns, wood splinters and ticks was and still is part of our lives and hard to do without a good pair of tweezers.

These specific tweezers are a replica of a find from the Viking town of Birka in Sweden. They date all way back to the 8th or 9th century.

During the Viking Age, it was common to carry one or more hygiene pendants attached to a chain or leather strap where ever you went. 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, comb, 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.

  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!
