Forged Viking key Rone, Gotland, iron

Product description

This one by hand iron forged key is modeled after a Viking Age find from the town of Rone on the Swedish island of Gotland.

Among the Vikings, a key was an essential part of women's dress and served as a status symbol: only the married woman had the power of keys in the house, and the key visibly worn on clothing showed her position within the household, especially when the master of the house was traveling.

An authentic, forged accessory for those who want to portray the role of the Viking woman.
