The Valknut Sporran Flap

$70.00$95.00

This Interchangeable Sporran Flap is embossed with our Valknut design, derived from an ancient arcane symbol depicting three interlocking triangles. Referencing the Borromean Ring variant of the Valknut design, we drew inspiration for our Valknut Interchangeable Flap from the Viking Age Sora Hammars stones in Gotland, Sweden. Included in a striking image of sacrifice over an altar, this depiction of the Valknut seems to best capture its importance to Viking culture. Celtic Leatherworks is pleased to integrate this ancient pattern into our Interchangeable Flap collection.

Made from hand-selected top-grain vegetable-tanned leather, the Interchangeable Sporran Flap comes in various finishes including Classic, Chocolate, and Bronze. It has been distressed to give it an Old World feel. The color may vary slightly due to the nature of the hand-rubbed stain.

Description

About the Valknut:
The ancient arcane symbol comprised of a triad of interlocking triangles has no firm historical context, though some scholars point to the 9th century Snoldelev Stone as a likely source for the design. On this stone, a conjoined trio of Viking-era drinking horns is featured, along with runes composed in the Younger Futhark alphabet. Other researchers consider it to be a variant of the Triskelion, while still others relate it to Odin. As a symbol of Odin’s power on earth, the Valknut may represent a binding rune or ritual used shortly before or after death in battle.

Functionality:
The flap attaches to the back of the bag at the top with heavy-duty snaps. There are two D-rings to attach the sporran to a belt. The loop will comfortably fit on a 2.5-inch belt should you choose to wear it that way.
