Iconic Costumes

Scandinavian Late Iron Age Costume Iconography

By: Ulla Mannering

This richly illustrated book presents a selection of the rich and varied iconographic material from the Scandinavian Late Iron Age (AD 400-1050) depicting clothed human figures, from an archaeological textile and clothing perspective. The source material consists of five object categories: gold foils, gold bracteates, helmet plaques, jewelry, and textile tapestries and comprises over 1000 different images of male and female costumes which are then systematically examined in conjunction with our present knowledge of archaeological textiles. In particular, the study explores the question of whether the selected images complement the archaeological clothing sources, through a new analytical tool which enables us to compare and contrast the object categories in regard to material, function, chronology, context and interpretation. The tool is used to record and analyze the numerous details of the iconographic costumes, and to facilitate a clear and easy description. This deliberate use of explicit costume shapes enhances our interpretation and understanding of the Late Iron Age clothing tradition. Thus, the majority of the costumes depicted are identified in the Scandinavian archaeological textile record, demonstrating that the depictions are a reliable source of research for both iconographical costume and archaeological clothing. The book contributes with new information on social, regional and chronological differences in clothing traditions from ca. AD 400 to the Viking Age.

Textiles and clothing traditions in early Iron Age Denmark

By: Ulla Mannering

Published in Origini n. XL/2017. Rivista annuale del Dipartimento di Scienze dell’Antichità – “Sapienza” Università di Roma | Preistoria e protostoria delle civiltà antiche – Prehistory and protohistory of ancient civilizations | Denmark possesses a unique collection of complete clothing items in textile and skin recovered from the Danish peat bogs dated to the Scandinavian Early Iron Age (500 BC-AD 375). Already in this period a well-developed and advanced tradition for making clothing in textile and skin existed, based on the earlier Scandinavian Bronze Age clothing tradition. A common characteristic of the textiles from the Pre-Roman Iron Age is that they are almost all finished on the loom: a feature comparable to Roman clothing. On the other hand, most of the recorded clothing items were worn by both men and women which is in contrast to Roman clothing. The presented information about the Scandinavian clothing tradition and their production leads to a more detailed understanding of life and technology in the Scandinavian Early Iron Age.
