Lots of little dragon heads: This tablet woven trim is inspired by a 10th century textile fragment from Dublin. It is not a faithful reconstruction of the original. While the original is woven in brocade technique, this trim has been woven with 2 threads per tablet. It resembles the motive pretty well, though: double dragon heads, hence called Dublin Dragons.

This tablet-woven trim is a reconstruction of a sleeve trim that was attached to the burial robe of Abbess Berthild of Chelles, who died at 705 AD. Berthild was the first abbess of Chelles Abbey and a contemporary of the Frankish Merovingian queen Bathilde, who was buried in the same abbey in 680.
It is woven with fine plant-dyed wool attempting to imitate the colouring of the original border.

I am currently weaving a reconstruction of the Hallstatt 126520 band (in different colours though), which was found in 2019 during excavations in the Hallstatt salt mine and probably dates back to the Early Iron Age/Celtic period. The band shows several seemingly random sequences of patterns, which makes it unique for this period, as the other known woven bands show a regular repeat of the same pattern.

A colourful interpretation of the Hallstatt textile 152. The original textile fragment used to be a trim, made of fine woollen threads. It was found in the salt mines of Hallstatt and dates back to the pre-Ronan Iron Age, about 500 BCE.
This one I made out of plant dyed, thick woollen threads to use it as a trim for a thick woollen winter peplos.
