Archaeology
- Isle of Man, St Patrick's Isle. 'Pagan Lady', either from a head-dress or work-bag [GRAHAM-CAMPBELL 2002:p.86].
- Ireland, Dublin. A 5" wide strip of silk sprang [EWING 2007:p.149].
Discussion
It has often been suggested that the beech frame found in the Oseberg burial could have been used to make sprang [EWING 2007:p.149]. Ewing also makes the point that most Viking Age sprang was 'probably made in linen which rarely survives in the archaeological record'.
Other possible unpublished finds:
- Scotland, Shetland. Impression on the back of a pair of oval brooches.
- Scotland, Perth. Textile fragment.
- England, York. Textile fragment found in 1800's now in the Yorkshire museum. Interpreted as a leg binding and from the Roman era.
