Knitted hats

Some cool knitted 17th century hats I took photos of at the National Museum yesterday.



I'm not at the last day of the conference but at m_nivalis place; packing, having breakfast etc before going back to Göteborg att 11.

Queen Arnegundis

The remnants of Queen Arnegunde (frankish, 6th century) have been examined again, by Antoinette Rast-Eicher, for the first time since the 1950s. More pieces have been found while some that were there fifty years ago are now gone. Better analysis has "corrected" previous interpretations and this is (a very bad photo) of the new reconstruction.

A beautiful Lithuanian Iron Age textile

It's a pity the photo isn't better, but I hope you can see the tablet woven edge.
