Add a touch of raw authenticity to your historical clothing or handmade projects with this set of 5 hand-polished Viking Medieval Ox Horn Toggles. Each toggle is shaped and smoothed in the traditional style, offering a gently curved shape and naturally varied horn texture inspired by fasteners found in Viking settlements and medieval Europe from the 9th to 14th centuries.

Hand crafted from ethically sourced ox horn, these toggles are not only durable but beautifully unique. Their deep black-brown finish, smooth contour and tapering ends create a striking look that stands out on cloaks, tunics, leather bags or fantasy costumes. Because horn is naturally resistant to damp weather and will not rust like metal clasps, these toggles are a reliable closure solution even for outdoor or travel use.

Historical Insight: Viking Ox Horn Toggles were prized throughout Norse and medieval cultures for their strength, lightweight design and resilience against moisture. Archaeological finds from sites like Birka and Hedeby confirm that toggles were a common fastening method for cloaks and layered garments.

Care Instructions:
• Do Not Soak – Wipe gently with a damp cloth; dry immediately.
• Avoid Chemicals – No chemical cleaners; they can damage the finish.
• Keep Away from Heat – Excess heat or direct sunlight may cause warping or cracks.
• Occasional Conditioning – Rub lightly with food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to maintain lustre.
• Storage – Store in a cool, dry place away from heavy items to prevent deformation.

Note: Due to their natural origin, each toggle may feature slight variations in shape, color or pattern. Minor surface cracks can develop over time, this is normal and highlights the organic character of genuine horn. ⭐
