Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

MODERATORS
It would be cool if someone drew up patterns for knitting these.
It looks very Scandinavian. You could probably adapt a pattern to look like these. My mom made Viking socks once and they were pretty uncomfortable.
You probably displeased Odin in some way.
ravelry[dot]com has lots of patterns (free and for sale) which match these. Judging by the age on some of those patterns on that site, this image has made the rounds for years.
