Herjolfsnes no.33
This loose men's
dress or tunic, which was put on through the head,
was found in Herjolfsnes already in 1840. At that time the garment was
not correctly reconstructed and as such figured in literature as an
important representation of old Norwegian culture. Newer
reconstructions showed that this garment is not that important. The
pattern is quite simple, with 2 gores on left and right sides in
addition to the main straight pieces for the front and back. The cut
of the sleeve in the back is so shallow, it is almost not curved at
all. The piece is dated to the 14th century.
Based on: Meddelelser om Gronland, Buried Norsemen at
Herjolfsnes; Dr.phil. Poul Norlund; Copenhagen 1924; C.A.Reitzel
