Women's headband of natural linen decorated with sewn-on cowrie shells.
Return policy
Headbands were popular during the Viking Age. Small pieces of fabric were often found near the temples in women's graves. The ‘earflaps’ could be sewn to the headband. It is a beautiful element of women's costume from the early Middle Ages. Most have been found in the graves of the eastern Slavs, where we also find a Viking influence.
The headband is made of 100% linen in natural color, decorated with sewn-on cowrie shells. Cowrie shells served as small-denomination currency and were often found near the head.
Length of headband 112 cm (44,09 in), band width 3,5 cm (1,38 in).
Silver and gold elements and the scarf are not included in the sale.
