To start up this new blog I will post my latest project. It is a 9.th. century wallet from Birka. Not an axact repliccation, but a wallet inspired by the findings from Birka. The wallet is made from ca. 1 mm thick goatskin and the dark parts have been dyed. I didn't have alot of sources on the this type of wallet exept for a small notice in "Purses in Pieces" and some pictures i found on the net. So the decorations are mostly speculative. Some say that the braids were made from gilded leather og metal bands wowen into the leather. but i wasn't abled to werify one or the other. So i just used leather strips. The leather strips were drawn through the laether using an awl. I tried just pushing them througt, just using my fingers, but that was way to complicated. Here are some pictures of how i fastened the braids to the wallet. The straps are made from one single strap, wich have been cut into three strips held togeather in one end. These are all the parts of the wallet. The two big pieces are the front and back and the three small ones are the pockets for the inside of the wallet. And here are the pictures i found og one of the original findings. The first picture is a drawing of an original and the second i a reconstruction. I don't know from where these pictures were taken, but i'm guessing it is from some book... All in all i think the results came out pretty nice.
