This richly illustrated book presents a selection of the rich and
varied iconographic material from the Scandinavian Late Iron Age
(AD 400-1050) depicting clothed human figures, from an
archaeological textile and clothing perspective. The source
material consists of five object categories: gold foils, gold
bracteates, helmet plaques, jewellery, and textile tapestries and
comprises over 1000 different images of male and female costumes
which are then systematically examined in conjunction with our
present knowledge of archaeological textiles. In particular, the
study explores the question of whether the selected images
complement the archaeological clothing sources, through a new
analytical tool which enables us to compare and contrast the object
categories in regard to material, function, chronology, context and
interpretation. The tool is used to record and analyze the numerous
details of the iconographic costumes, and to facilitate a clear and
easy description. This deliberate use of explicit costume shapes
enhances our interpretation and understanding of the Late Iron Age
clothing tradition. Thus, the majority of the costumes depicted are
identified in the Scandinavian archaeological textile record,
demonstrating that the depictions are a reliable source of research
for both iconographical costume and archaeological clothing. The
book contributes with new information on social, regional and
chronological differences in clothing traditions from ca. AD 400 to
the Viking Age.
