Blog post: Women - Key figures in medieval Sweden
Blogs
In one section of the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm representing the Viking period, Swedish women are represented in one individual display case by a great number of keys found in various archaeological digs. Keys are everyday and familiar objects, that any of us carry with us or use as a part of our daily routines. These seemingly mundane objects carried a lot more meaning during the Viking Age as the title of the display case already suggests: “The woman - a key person.”

Naturally-Dyed Wool
Reenactment
A rack of naturally-dyed wool showing the range of colours that Viking Age clothes could have come in. The Vikings are known to have liked colourful clothes, and this photographs demonstrates what could be achieved with the technology they had.
The yarn was produced by Elin Sonja Petersen, who used natural plants, mushrooms, lichen, bark, leaves, flowers and bugs to dye the wool. The mordant used is only alum or iron, i.e. a piece of iron.
