Herjolfsnes no.86
This hat was found inside a hood next to a skeleton of a boy. The
round top of the hat was cut out of a single piece of fabric and later
divided, somewhat asymmetrically, with a false seam, into 2
halves. The circumference of the hat was made from at least 4
rectangles having equal width, but different lengths. The lower edge
was folded inward but probably never hemmed. This, as many other
artifacts from excavation in Herjolfsnes, is dated to the end of the
14th century.
Based on: Meddelelser om Gronland, Buried Norsemen at
Herjolfsnes; Dr.phil. Poul Norlund; Copenhagen 1924; C.A.Reitzel
