Red glass in the purse lid! Now that would be cheap. Mitford doesn't mention any such thing -- blue glass, yes and over 1,500 garnets in the lid alone. Birgit Arrhenius suggests that the garnets, mostly, came from Bohemia and uses modern techniques to back up her claim. I am not sure that being a bi...

The point of the thread was to discuss the origins of the stuff from Sutton Hoo. However, since the thread started no-one has mentioned that subject. Somehow the Viking sword pommel thread got equated with the sword pommel from Sutton Hoo I would like to state clearly, that that sword (the Sutton Ho...

I am experimenting with linen armour in the 6th and 7th centuries. There is no evidence for it at all - except they had linen and a need for armour, and it seems, linen can make very effective armour, which can even defend against arrows. My original thoughts were to glue the layers but there appear...

layered linen
I want to experiment with layered linen armour, maybe even combining it with a leather underlayer. Anyone got any experience in working with linen in this way? Will rabbit glue be sufficient? -- I am thinking of up to ten layers - do the layers need to be moulded into shape as they are glued? How do...
