Product description
This needle box is a replica of a 9th–10th century original excavated in grave 515 in the Viking town of Birka and in Gotland. Needles were far more expensive than they are today, so people kept them carefully stored. A strap fastened the box to the belt, keeping a needle within easy reach at all times. The box also served a decorative purpose, worn visibly on the belt.
