This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Viking period - a Viking Bone Comb and Comb Case. Crafted with exquisite precision, this comb and case are made from deer antler and bone, revealing the ingenuity and artistry of the ancient Vikings. Displayed in the prestigious Yorkshire Museum in York, this piece offers us a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage. The intricate details of this comb highlight its functional yet ornamental purpose. The delicate teeth of the comb were expertly carved to ensure smooth detangling while maintaining durability. The use of deer antler adds an element of natural beauty to this utilitarian object, showcasing the resourcefulness of these seafaring warriors. Accompanying the comb is its intricately designed case, crafted with equal skill using bone material. This protective casing not only preserves the integrity of the comb but also serves as an artistic statement on its own.
