Woman figurine
The “Lady from Öja” is a figure from the Viking Age, originally 52 mm long and made of copper alloy. The figure, which was acquired by the Swedish History Museum in 1863, exudes a mild and thoughtful expression, with arms wrapped around her stomach, suggesting that she is pregnant. With the accompanying base, the figure stands at approximately 7 cm in height. On the figure’s back, there is a shape resembling a belt, which may indicate that she is wearing a long dress with a belt, or possibly a skirt and top, with the visible edge resembling the hem of a jacket.
The figure is classified as a stray find, meaning it was not discovered in a specific grave or settlement. Find number 457610_HST.

Scanglas sells handcrafted products made from various materials such as glass, metal, horn, bone, and wood. Each product is unique, with natural variations in color, finish, size, and shape that reflect the charm of genuine craftsmanship.
Our historical glassware consists of meticulously crafted replicas that capture the 2000-year history of glassblowing. Each piece is mouth-blown and handmade, featuring details such as decorations and glass threads, giving them an authentic character. A hallmark of handmade glass is the punt mark on the underside, the softly rounded edge on the rim, and subtle variations in size, thickness, and details. The specially formulated glass material mimics historical color tones and includes small air bubbles and structural variations, which together contribute to the glassware's unique and genuine character.
In addition to glass, we also offer products made of metal, horn, bone, and wood. These items are carefully crafted using traditional techniques to preserve their natural properties and highlight the authenticity of the craftsmanship.
