Richly decorated Viking belt bag based on a find from Birka, made of soft cowhide.

This Viking belt satchel is based on the so-called Birka satchel, a fragment of which was found in the Swedish Viking settlement of Birka near Lake Mälaren.

Of particular note is the richly decorated fittings, which were particularly popular on Viking and Russian belt bags in the eastern region.

The total of ten fittings on this Viking satchel are based on historical originals from the 9th and 10th centuries and make the Birka satchel a real gem!

The central fitting on the satchel was based on a find from the Swedish Viking settlement of Ås, but very similar fittings have also been found on belt satchels in Birka.

This Viking belt satchel is a very successful interpretation of the original satchel, which probably once belonged to a Hungarian or Swedish long-distance trader, and is a particularly beautiful and high-quality addition to historical costumes in LARP and Viking reenactments.

  • Bag size: 18 x 23 cm.
