viking needle case silvered Ketels - pannen en kookstellen Epirus and the MacedoniansThis needle case is a replica of a 9th 10th century original excavated together with another needle case in grave 515 in the Viking town of Birka.

This beautifully decorated needle case had a functional and a decorative function.
