Carry your salt the Viking way! This handcrafted bone salt cellar is both decorative and practical, designed to be worn on a cord for convenience during feasts, travel, or camp life. Inspired by Viking Age finds, such containers were an essential part of daily living, as salt was highly valued for both preserving and seasoning food.
Carved from bone and capped with wood, this piece is decorated with traditional ring-and-dot motifs in striking red—an artistic design commonly seen in Norse artifacts. Its compact, wearable form makes it a perfect addition for reenactment, living history, or as a unique conversation piece.
Historical Note:
Salt was a precious commodity in the Viking Age, often imported and carefully stored. Archaeological finds from sites such as Birka in Sweden and the Oseberg ship burial in Norway have revealed carved bone containers and utensils with ring-and-dot decoration, reflecting both practicality and artistry in Norse daily life. This salt cellar continues that tradition, blending utility with historical authenticity.
