Other stuff
- Recreation viking fork and a nail, both in
iron. Bought at Birka Museum shop, Björkö,
Stockholm archipelago.
- Recreation Viking money pouch in
leather. Bought at Birka Museum shop, Björkö,
Stockholm archipelago. Sewed by Ewa!
- Drinking horn
- made in Norway but bought at Jorvik
Story, York.
- "Double headed penny" in pewter - hand struck (by me!) at the
Jorvik
Story, York.
- "Scandinavian Heritage"t-shirt.
Bought in a shop in Gamla Stan Stockholm 2 years
ago and still looking good, despite several close
calls with various curry sauces!
- "Hnefatafl" board. Hnefatafl was a Scandinavian
forerunner of chess. Our set's not quite that
old, though!
- Viking hat made from
wool. I bought this in Stockholm, at of all
places a pet show! The nice people from Gunnes
Gård (see links) had a
stand there, and although it was a bit on the
expensive side (250 SEK!) I simply couldn't
resist this hat. It was made by hand on Gunnes
Gård (we think), and is exceptionally warm and
dry, better even than my modern Thinsulate hat!
