This pewter bead is based on the silver one that was used to fasten the neck of a Viking age tunic found at Skjolhamn in Norway. It has a hole that is 6mm so it can be used on beard hair braids, or as a clothing fastener, as the original was.

It has a width of 12mm and a length of 7mm and is sold in packs of two. 

Handmade in Scotland.
