Add a touch of authenticity to your historical garments or craft projects with this set of 5 hand-polished medieval Viking ox horn toggles. Each toggle is shaped and smoothed in the traditional style, offering a gently curved shape and a naturally varied horn texture inspired by fasteners found in Viking settlements and medieval Europe from the 9th to 14th centuries.

Handcrafted from ethically sourced ox horn, these clasps are not only durable but also unique. Their deep black-brown finish, smooth contour, and tapered ends create a striking look that stands out on capes, tunics, leather bags, or fantasy costumes. Because horn is naturally moisture-resistant and won't rust like metal clasps, these flip-flops are a reliable closure solution even for outdoor use or travel.

Historical review:

Viking ox horn toggles were highly prized in Norse and medieval cultures for their strength, lightness, and resistance to moisture. Archaeological finds from sites such as Birka and Hedeby confirm that toggles were a common method of fastening layers and overlays.

Care instructions:

• Do not soak - Wipe gently with a damp cloth; dry immediately.
• Avoid chemicals - Do not use chemical cleaners; they can damage the finish.
• Keep away from heat - Excessive heat or direct sunlight may cause warping or cracking.
• Occasional Conditioning - Lightly rub with food-grade mineral oil or beeswax to maintain shine.
• Storage - Store in a cool, dry place away from heavy objects to prevent deformation.

Note:

Due to its natural origin, each toggle may show slight variations in shape, color, or pattern. Small surface cracks may develop over time; this is normal and highlights the organic character of genuine horn.
