I'll reply anyway. <br /><br />I have to admit that I'm not particularly familiar with the Oseberg textiles...<br />Do you happen to know the inventory number of the piece(s)?<br /><br />It certainly doesn't look like tablet weaving structurally - it looks more like a (tapestry?) woven tabby band with some of the weft threads missing. It starts off with a bit that looks like soumak wrapping (to the left)and then it continues with what looks like a completely ordinary weft-faced weave. <br /><br />If the pieces are form Oseberg, they should be published in the book about the textiles: "Osebergfunnet IV: Tekstilene"Arachnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00046634430932368520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752234106736354936.post-1136778160881381032014-10-20T16:56:53.089+02:002014-10-20T16:56:53.089+02:00Hi Victoria!

There's a piece of a band in the Norvegian museum (maybe? the "fotoportal" sometimes seems to have mistakes in descriptions of the photos):<br />http://www.unimus.no/foto/imageviewer.html#/?id=1734259&type=jpeg<br />and a version in colour here:<br />http://www.unimus.no/foto/imageviewer.html#/?id=4444353&type=jpeg<br /><br />I am trying to "crack" this technique, and I think it is similar to this Dune Belt you were working on. However, I don't think it's tablet weaving, I tried a different approach, and this is what I came up with:<br />https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10712781_906254486069416_9160049816278133140_n.jpg?oh=611a4c1d2865dc67a49acaf9faf04cf8&oe=54AFCF37&__gda__=1424558991_512031973d539de66e1ee4ae0aa8561c (the one on the right, of course ;) )<br />Could you please advice if I am on the right track? I would be happy and grateful for your thoughts.<br />I must write to the Norwegian museum to enquire, if this piece is indeed from Oseberg.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00995095193524887404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752234106736354936.post-84568534908346897412011-10-30T12:04:44.002+01:002011-10-30T12:04:44.002+01:00Julie:

That's an incorrect priliminary sample because I hadn't solved the actual _weaving technique_ at the time I handed in my thesis. I didn't crack it until two or three weeks _after_ the term ended and that's why I submitted the NESAT article. It's _structurally possible_ to achieve the same weave with square tablets (except the 8-thread warp twining of the Dune Belt), which I point out in the article, but impractical. The description of the (correct) weaving technique of Eric of Pomerania's Belt and all the patterns are in the NESAT article.<br /><br />I'm working on the Dune Belt now but that project isn't anywhere near being finished yet!Arachnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00046634430932368520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752234106736354936.post-31966599429976163852011-09-12T16:45:08.800+02:002011-09-12T16:45:08.800+02:00Do you have a description/pattern of how you made ...Do you have a description/pattern of how you made the Erik af Pommern belt?
