The garnet inlays remind me very much of some of the Viking burial ship hoard ?Sutton Hoo. There were some exquisite garnet inlaid pieces there, - buckles, I think. This is such an exciting find - for lovers of history, anyway!
Lace content - I have just started a Bucks Point handkie edge. It is a good thing the book has excellent diagrams, as the deisgner is a bit "radical, and things are not always done the traditional way!! I am working from "Lace. australian wildflowers in Bucks Point lace" by Elwyn Kenn. Very pretty patterns that take a bit of concentration -- well, from me , anyway!!! I do far too much Beds, so have to get my brain into gear for other laces!!! :)) I am using a 100 Finca thread, and DMC Coton a Broder #25 for the gimp.
