Bone Cloak & Hair Pins
Long pins are fairly common in Viking Age archaeology, some are certainly cloak pins but others could be hair pins or even both.
​
Contemporary depictions of women often include ornate hairstyles which, although often stylised, could represent plaiting held in place by pins.
​
Whilst we endeavour to make all of our reproductions as close to the originals as possible, these are handmade from natural materials so slight variations may occur.
