This striking salt cellar is handcrafted from bone and wood, decorated with interlaced Norse-inspired designs reminiscent of Viking Age art styles. Salt was a precious commodity in the Viking Age, valued for preserving food and enhancing flavor, and containers like this reflect both its importance and the artistry of everyday objects.
The cylindrical body features bold carved patterns highlighted by traditional dotwork borders, while the wooden top and bottom provide durability and contrast. A fitted wooden stopper keeps contents secure, and a loop makes it convenient to wear or hang for easy use in camp or at the feasting table.
Historical Note:
Salt containers and carved bone vessels have been uncovered at Viking Age sites such as Birka in Sweden and the Oseberg ship burial in Norway. The decoration on this piece draws inspiration from the gripping-beast and interlace styles popular in the 9th–10th centuries, making it both functional and historically evocative.
- Material: Carved bone with wooden fittings

- Function: Wearable or hangable salt cellar for practical use
