8th C. Viking Bronze Coiled Hair Rings (5 pcs)

Item Details

Description

Northern Europe, Viking culture, ca. 8th to 10th century CE. Five beautiful hair rings made from coiled bronze wire. Made to be woven through the hair or through a beard, each would have sparkled in the sunlight when worn. The Vikings were known for their ornament and beauty. A 13th century English chronicler complained of the Vikings, "[They] made themselves too acceptable to English women by their elegant manners and their care of their person. They combed their hair daily... and took a bath every Saturday, and even changed their clothes frequently, and improved the beauty of their bodies with many such trifles, by which means they undermined the chastity of [English] wives." Size of largest: 1" in diameter x 1.05" H (2.5 cm x 2.7 cm)

Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-Neil Phillips Collection, New York, NY acquired in the 1980's
