The delicate Viking-style Borre-style garment hook measures approximately 10 x 2.6 cm and weighs about 11 g. It is available in either bronze or silver-plated finish.
What historical significance does the Borre style have for this Viking garment clasp, and during what period was this art style widespread?

The Borre style is a significant Viking Age art style, considered a further development of the Oseberg style, and is particularly known for its characteristic griffin motifs, geometric knot ornaments, and ring-chain patterns. This art style was widespread in Scandinavia and large parts of Northern Europe during the Early Middle Ages, from the 9th century to the mid- to second half of the 10th century.
How is the Borre-style garment hook attached to clothing, and what should be considered when caring for it to avoid damaging the delicate surface of the garment clasp?

The Viking garment clasp is attached to clothing like a hook. To protect the delicate surface, contact with perfume, hairspray, deodorant, cosmetics, and cleaning agents should be avoided, as these can damage the bronze or silver plating. It is also recommended to remove the piece of jewelry before bathing, visiting a sauna, exercising, or going to bed, and to store it separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches.
