Product description
This bag replicates a 9th-century original excavated in the Viking town of Birka. Vikings and other early medieval people across North and Central Europe wore bags like this.
Made from brown leather, this handcrafted bag measures 18 x 23 cm and closes with a strap. Decorative motifs in the Magyar art style adorn it, just like the original.
The design draws inspiration from Magyar art. The Magyars were a nomadic people who invaded Europe during the 9th century AD and settled in Hungary. Eastern Vikings traded with them and likely incorporated their art motifs into their own objects. Birka was a city where Vikings from across Europe came to trade and exchange items like this fitting.
