medieval babysling

[frualeydis]

For those who may have missed it: A 13th century (I'm guessing workshop of Matthew Paris) picture of St. Christopher carrying Jesus in a baby sling. Admittedly a shorter version than the one we're using for long walks and which can be seen in my icon, but still.

It looks to me like you've got the center over her back, each end pulled foward over your neck. Then you take each end and bring it back over her hip, then under the other leg. That provides the support so she can't just slide down? 5.5 metres? I'll have to try that. Do you have any other pictures of her slung?
