EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a meticulously reconstructed female costume from the Viking Age, based on the discoveries unearthed in the Eura cemetery in Finland. Dating back to the 12th century, this attire provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and traditions of the European Middle Ages. The Eura cemetery, located in the southwestern part of Finland, has yielded numerous valuable finds, including textiles and other artifacts that have shed light on the clothing styles and materials used during the Viking Age. The National Museum of Finland in Helsinki has carefully preserved and studied these findings, allowing researchers to create accurate reconstructions of the garments. In this image, we see a woman dressed in a typical Viking Age costume. The outfit consists of a long-sleeved tunic, worn over a linen underdress, and a woolen cloak fastened with brooches. The tunic features a high neckline and narrow sleeves, while the cloak is adorned with intricate embroidery and decorative fringes. The woman's hair is styled in the traditional Viking braids, adding to the authenticity of the ensemble. The interior of the museum setting provides a perfect backdrop for this historical display, allowing visitors to appreciate the intricacies of the costume and the rich history it represents. The Viking Age, characterized by seafaring explorations, cultural exchange, and advanced craftsmanship, continues to captivate our imagination and inspire new discoveries. This reconstruction serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Vikings and the fascinating world they inhabited.
