Viking wool apron dress with two wedges from Hedeby

A Viking apron is the basic element of Scandinavian women's clothing, worn over the main dress or directly over a bottom dress. The remains of the apron have been found at many archaeological sites, including the necropolis of the trading emporium in Hedeby and the necropolis of Birka. They are also confirmed in iconographyp>

The apron is made of thin wool with four parts widening downwards. It is sewn according to a simple, early medieval cut. There are two loops on the front for attaching the harness. The length without the harness is about 98 cm. It is hung on a harness, which is fastened with a turtle brooch (not included in the set).
