Reproductions of a viking era comb (top), and from left to right below, an ear wax scraper, a toothpick, and a pair of tweezers. These reproduction items are made from bone or antler, although some luxury items from the Norse era were made from ivory. Being groomed and ready for the day was very important for the Vikings. What if they died and went to Valhalla? One simply cannot greet Odin with tangled hair!! Reginsmál (25) Combed and washed every thoughtful man should be, and fed in the morning; for one cannot foresee where one will be by evening; it is bad to rush headlong before ones fate. #Norse #history #Groomed #comb #Viking
