Current data for Description

From Laxdæla Saga: "Guðrún was dressed in a kirtle of rám-stuff, and a tight-fitting woven bodice, a high bent coif on her head, and she had tied a scarf round her with dark-blue stripes, and fringed at the ends. Helgi Harðbeinsson went up to Guðrún, and caught hold of the scarf end, and wiped the blood off the spear with it, the same spear with which he had thrust Bolli through. Guðrún glanced at him and smiled slightly. Then Halldor said, 'That was blackguardly and gruesomely done.'
