Embroidered textiles in the Viking Age

An embroidery worthy of a royal hall
A unique archaeological find reveals rich and detailed textiles in a royal hall. The elaborate fabric is decorated with leopards, birds, masks and acanthus leaves – embroidered in an impressive pattern.

On 28 and 29 June, you can see how this extraordinary piece of textile history is recreated at Sagnlandets Dragtværksted. Meet the facilitators and learn about techniques, symbolism and the incredible precision behind ancient embroidery.

A weekend for anyone with an interest in craftsmanship, history and the beauty of stitches.
