Era Viking Tweezer (Sem preço de reserva)

These authentic medieval bronze tweezers are made from a single folded strip of bronze, forming a functional spring mechanism. The exterior is decorated with a repeating series of diamond-shaped punch marks, a geometric motif strongly associated with Viking and Norse decorative traditions. Such diamond or lozenge punch patterns are commonly seen on Viking-age metalwork, including personal items, tools, and fittings, and are characteristic of early medieval Scandinavian and Norse-influenced craftsmanship. Tweezers were an essential part of Viking and medieval personal grooming, often carried on the belt or as part of a grooming set. Decorated examples like this are especially desirable, as they reflect both practical use and aesthetic attention. The surface shows a natural, undisturbed patina with wear consistent with age and long use. The decoration remains clearly visible, enhancing both historical and visual appeal. A fine example of a medieval personal grooming tool in Viking style, well suited for collectors of Viking-age or early medieval artifacts. Weight: 5.30g, Height: 53mm Culture: Viking / Scandinavian Date: 9th–11th Century AD Material: Bronze, dark patina with earthen highlights Condition: Intact and complete as shown; even age-related corrosion and rich coppery patina. Minor surface wear and small bends consistent with use and age. Sold as found.
