Product description
The tunic is based on original fragments from find B23 in Birka. Birka was an important trading city in (early) medieval Sweden. In one of the graves, for instance, a ring bearing an Arabic inscription was found, which demonstrates that Birka maintained trade contacts with the Orient in addition to Scandinavian, Finnish, Western European and Central European trade. The city's trading position declined when, around 1000, a Christian city was founded nearby.
The Knut tunic is well-suited to re-enacting, Cosplays and LARP from the Great Migration to the High Middle Ages. Crafted from 100% cotton, it features an ornate embroidered edge at the neckline. The tunic may be worn comfortably thanks to the split at the front and the extra fabric on the sides, also known as gores, which permit freedom of movement for fighting, running, climbing and horseback riding. The neck has a split, which can be worn open or closed with a fibula.
