So proud to see my article about the reconstruction of the Leksand cape in print
VÄV Magasinet 4/23!
This is the first published article about the reconstruction. So hopefully it will help to make it more known outside Leksand, as is duly deserves to 💛
The cape was found during excavations under Leksands Church in 1971. It’s dated to around 1200 A.D and was found in a middle aged woman’s grave. I got goosebumps when we were taking photos in the crypt under Leksand Church
I started my research and samples at Sätergläntan Shool of Handicrafts and finished it during the pandemic.
A big thanks to Bente P Skogsaas that reconstructed the tablet woven border ❤️
I will post details of the other elements separately,..
