Re: writeup of Oseberg band

[SNSpies]

Shelagh, this is such wonderful information.  Thank you for sharing it with us!

Could I please ask if you could make just one minor adjustment in your report?  The band is a soumak-wrapped band, not a brocaded band.  In a brocaded band, the supplemental weft floats on the surface, tied down by warp threads.  In the band from the Oseberg burial, the supplemental weft wraps around the warp threads, soumak wrapping.  Thank you.

Nancy
