Viking bone pin from trondheim, clothes pin, hairpin



This Viking hairpin is a detailed replica of an original find from Trondheim, Norway, dating back to the 11th century. The wider end of the needle, made of genuine bone, is decorated with a carved motif in the style of late Viking Age urns.



Bone needles were very common in the Viking Age, as they represented a cheaper alternative to the expensive metal versions. Hairpins of this type were therefore found throughout the area where the Vikings settled between 800 and 1100 AD, including Birka, York, Haithabu and Trondheim. However, the Vikings did not only use needles of this type as hair accessories, but also as fasteners for clothing or brooches, for example to fasten cloaks.



This beautiful piece of jewelry is an excellent example of ancient Norse art that will beautifully complete your early medieval attire, whether at medieval markets, Viking events or reenactment events, and make it look even more authentic. Of course, this Viking ornament is also a great accessory in modern everyday life to stylishly fix your hair.



The urnes style
