Silver and gold ornaments of the vikings: Posaments aka Passementerie. Original artifacts down the page and replicas in the Gallery. And eminently doable...
Pause for distraction while I check what I remember of Viking Passementerie and get distracted by Fornvannen and Borre style metalwork in the material culture of the Birka warriors (pdf) which has some passementerie images. And then go back to downloading any of the interesting articles which I can work out what they are about and/or have pretty/interesting pictures.
And while I am distracted, anyone tell if this book Viking Rus: studies on the presence of Scandinavians in Eastern Europe by Wladyslaw Duczko (2004). What I can see of the illustration collection looks cool (after page 258)- includes sketch of smiths tool hoard from Staraja Lagoda (after Rjabinin 1985 but bibliography not in Google Books version). Don't know what the nationalistic biases are though.
And if someone can chase up The Silk Road Textiles at Birka: An Examination of the Tabletwoven Bands By Cathy Ostrom Peters, to see if that developed past an abstract only... Ok, check out Silk Roads, Other Roads: Eighth Biennial Symposium 2002 of which that talk was one of many interesting sounding ones. Proceedings available on CD...
Time to stop being distracted and head off to bed.
